if init.root != /

[Cem Kayali / E Ticaret ve Bilisim Teknolojileri <cemkayali%eticaret.com.tr@localhost>]

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
