Hmm... that´s a mighty lot of files in one sentence. I think I 
understand what you´re getting at. I´ve been reading the Gentoo init 
documentation, and I´ve got the feeling there´s quite some interesting 
things to do with that. E.g. I could define a complete extra 
(soft)runlevel for booting coLinux. With a kernel parameter 
softlevel=coLinux it would boot into this runlevel. This should allow 
for doing some of the right things. Combined with your initrd boot 
option, I should be able to make this work.

Thanks for the input.
