It would probably be useful to add a discussion of this issue to the
init(8) man page, and to add some debugging hints to the "init died
(signal %d, exit %d)" panic message in kern/kern_exit.c.

It might also be reasonable to add "/rescue/init" to initpaths[] in
kern/init_main.c, although that wouldn't help in this particular
situation (because the problem was not a failure to exec init).
