Right. But init is the utility which starts up the rc(8) boot process as
this is what the init man page tells.
Reading init.c it seems like /etc/rc is started before read_ttys is called
but I'm not sure that everything is up and running when read_ttys is
reached.

But killing my xorg and having it restarted from /sbin/init automatically
gives me back my keyboard and mouse. Nothing else done.
