Hi.  FYI, I'm not the maintainer.  But I am interested in sysvinit in
general.

This would be a possibility.  But TBH maybe it would be better to load
kernel modules before trying to mount the kernel filesystems.  I'm not
sure what dependencies there might be in the other direction.  Can
anyone advise ?  I guess maybe modprobe depends on /proc.

Sorry to be vague, but I'm replying to this late at night and not
entirely sober :-).

Thanks,
Ian.
