Well, I upgraded and found pivot_root and the problem is that how do I make init
run with PID 1. My linuxrc gets PID 7.

1 ? 00:03:05 swapper
2 ? 00:00:00 keventd
3 ? 00:00:00 kswapd
4 ? 00:00:00 kreclaimd
5 ? 00:00:00 bdflush
6 ? 00:00:00 kupdated
7 ? 00:00:00 linuxrc

init doesn't like running with any other PID than 1. I could probably revert to
the not so old way of doing things and exit linuxrc and let the kernel change
root. But then I wouldn't be able to mount root over samba :-(. ( not that I
have any samba shares :-)
