genkernel allows for choosing what is the real root (real_root) but real_init var doesnt allow you to choose what init to load instead it passes an argument to init was included via this bug #55376 i think this should be changed so real_init is what init to load and a new variable created to pass arguments to init via should be easy to do even with the old wrong ver out now since one would just check for a existing file if its a file run it otherwise odds are its a argument and needs to be done the old way...

Created attachment 85595 [details, diff] patch for real_initd option. I'd prefer real_init as name, but it's already occupied. Hence, real_initd -- suggesting a daemon -- was chosen. I haven't tested this patch in this isolated form, as my linuxrc is not as vanilla. However, the patch isn't too complicated.
Well, I changed real_init to be a chosen init daemon, and made real_init (the old oen) init_opts, to make it more logical.
Fixed in 3.4.0_pre1, thanks.
