testing cinit in a User-Mode-Linux (uml),
Nico Schottelius 2005-06-14 (Last Modified: 2005-06-14)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Get an image you want to install cinit to
2. Compile an UML
3. change bin/cinit.uml.test to your needs
4. put a configuration (/etc/cinit) on to your image
5. ./bin/cinit.uml.test
-> wait, your Linux starts with cinit enabled.
If you omit 4, you'll see how cinit will fail without having its base
directory.

Using a raw (x86) hd image:
Access partition 1 via losetup:
sudo losetup -o 32256 /dev/loop0 "$hierabs/debian-hd.img"
linux ubd0=/dev/loop0 init=/sbin/cinit "$@"
Offset was taken from fdisk:
