Yes, I created it just to see if the ramdisk in the kernel gets initialized and 
if init gets at all executed.
It seems it does. It does not really metter if it produces an error. I just 
needed to test if the kernel can find it and if the ramdisk gets loaded.

I tried to compile init as described in these articled but with no luck. It 
never gets initialized...
# cd /usr/src/sbin/init ; make -D SMALLPROG
