I solved this problem long ago with a custom '/sbin/init' on one of my
file-servers. I don't care what happens to the kernel since I know that
it's going to try to run init. My own init, which starts a 'N' thread
server (that's all)... is "un-symlinked" when I want conventional
behavior for backups, etc.
