Kim, any suggestions on this? Ever get your /sbin/init to work so you can launch your own programs? Care to post the code? Thanks!

I have a menu driven boot loader but it would need some modifications to make it work on other environments as well. It assumes that the /dev/hda2 partition exists and can be mounted to specific location, etc.

But in your case, it would probably be easiest to just write a simple /sbin/init script replacement, like:

#!/bin/sh
PATH=./:/bin
PS1=empeg:\\w\\$
/bin/mount -n -o nocheck,rw /proc
/bin/mount -n -o nocheck,ro /dev/hda4 /drive0
/empeg/bin/player

And then you could add whatever network stuff you want before/after the empeg player software.
