Yeah, could be. Look at what the scripts in /etc/rc.d/rcsysinit.d are doing, but the minimal list is going to look something like - * mount /proc and /sys * start udev to populate /dev (see /etc/rc.d/init.d/udev) * remount / read-write (kernel mounts it read-only before init starts) * start swap * bring up localhost network There's other stuff done by LFS, but I think that list is probably enough to get you to a bash prompt. Actually, the last two aren't critical for boot either, but you likely want them anyway... Simon.
