#/./osinit.dis
Emuinit is the default initialisation program for emu (1). Emu sets the environment variable (see env (3)) /env/emuargs to the command line originally given to emu , which has the following form:
emu [ -d ] [ command [ " arg ..." ] ]Emuinit uses the value of emuargs to decide which command to start and its arguments. The default command is /dis/sh.dis , unless the -d option is given, in which case /dis/lib/srv.dis is used by default instead, to cause emu to run on the host system as a server (`daemon' mode).
Osinit is built-in to the root (3) of native kernels. Although the kernel uses the fixed name #/./osinit.dis the contents are taken from one of the files in /os/init selected by the init section of the kernel configuration file. Osinit 's action is platform-specific in detail, but might include: building an initial /dev by mounting device drivers; binding the physical network driver (eg, ether (3)) into /net and initialising ip (3), usually setting addresses and routes using bootp ; attaching to a remote file system; setting up flash translation using ftl (3); starting dossrv or 9660srv (see dossrv (4)), or kfs (3) to serve local files from disk or flash memory.
