[plug] cannot get system to run init on bootup

[Jon Miller]

I've tried the linux init=/bin/bash and this works okay. I had a look
around and everything looks okay.  All data looks to be intact, etc. The
physical drive checks out okay also.  So I'm really at a lost on this. 
If I'm right init wants to run a set of scripts all of which looks
intact.  Is there a command that I can run to start the scripts.  Which
script should be run first and idea?
