???

init 9 (or telinit 9, yes, I have a runlevel 9, basic, just gpm as it 
happens) isn't appropriate?

Of course, with gentoo's inittab, init then simply calls rc, but if rc is 
called directly, how does init know to change its runlevel, as seen as if 
it were passed on its commandline in top, etc?  And what about additional 
wait/once/respawn entries?  How will init know to take care of them?
