The pity moment is that init(8) logic is absolutely inconsistent: it
doesn't allow local logins before /etc/rc terminates, and even doesn't
allow reboot via ctrl-alt-del before /etc/rc terminates.
If system hangs during boot scripts, the only way to unhang it locally is
to press reset. (Using debugger is not considered.)

Does anybody think for cured init? (Really, question not for -stable)
