I wouldn't call that "success". When you originally posted to gnubies-il I suggested a simpler way to boot your system without passing thorough that check (adding the parameter INIT=/bihn/bash) The command "open" opens another virtual terminal. Maybe you can run "/sbin/init" from one of the terminals and see how it behaves?
