Thank you for the patch.  It make sense to me.  Is there a reason you
went with a global $KERNEL in the shell library instead of using uname
in the test like it is done in umountroot, umountnfs.sh and
checkroot.sh?  Anyway, I find it better to set it when it is used, so I
changed the code to set it in every function using the value.  Please
test the current git version and check if it work as you want it to on
kFreeBSD.

By the way, given the fact that the sysvinit package only is the default
boot system on kFreeBSD and Hurd, and is without any active maintainers
at the moment, would you as one of the people caring about kFreeBSD
perhaps be interested in help taking care of the package in Debian?
