if init.root != /




Hello!

         # man init
/ If value of the ``init.root'' sysctl node is not equal to / at this point, the /etc/rc process will be run inside a chroot(2) indicated
         by sysctl with the same error handling as above./


Today, i was trying to change init.root value to other than / and noticed that inserting "/init.root=/newroot/" into /sysctl.conf/ does not work - though "# sysctl init" shows "init.root=/newroot" after booting. It just boots normally.

Which configuration file should i use, to pass /newroot during startup? Manual does not mention about that clearly - as far as i notice.


PS: This is NetBSD 5.0.1 amd64

Best regards,
Cem
