Log Message:
On Darwin, mach_init is the system bootstrap process. It is responsible
for forking the traditional UNIX init(8) and it does the Mach port naming
service. We need mach_init for the naming service, but unfortunately, it
will only act as such if its PID is 1. We introduce a sysctl
(emul.darwin.init_pid) to fool a given process into thinking its PID is 1.
That way we can get mach_init into behaving as the name server.

Typical use:
/sbin/sysctl -w emul.darwin.init_pid=$$ ; exec /emul/darwin/sbin/mach_init
