A hard "panic: no init" occurs when attempting to
boot the vanilla uncustomized picobsd "dial"
configuration under 4.3 BETA (4.3-BETA #0: Mon Mar
12). The system enters a "jack-rabbit" crash/reboot
cycle during boot with the "no init" message.
System was built in
"./src/release/picobsd/build"
with "picobsd dial" command.
Problem occurs because neither "init" or "oinit" is
included in the "dial" crunch.conf file
("./src/release/picobsd/dial/crunch.conf"). Apparently
in the past one or the other of these was written
to crunch.conf via the "dial" Makefile as per setting
of ${INIT}. The in-dir Makefiles no longer exist.
One fix is to
==> 1) change the default build setting
specified at the top of
"./src/release/picobsd/dial/PICOBSD"
to "oinit" (instead of init):

This might not be the desired fix, since the "dial"
end-user might want to run a full shell, but that
requires additional programs (login).
