A really simple failsave init extension

Version: 1.31
Entered-date: 1998-01-14
Description: This is an init-before-the-init to spawn an emergency shell in case something got mixed up in /etc/inittab or /etc/rc, you have trouble with shared libraries crashing /sbin/init or you sometimes want a 'quick shell' right after booting before init comes up. This version now accomodates for lazy sysops who forget a "fail lock" on LILO's command line on unattended systems. You should install sash too, see
