Subject: 386BSD - multiple /sbin/init's in process list, solution ?
Keywords: 386BSD /sbin/init

i (re-) tried to install the /sbin/init program from the original 0.1
distribution in various patched levels.

all types of init's showed multiples of itself (ca. 10..15) in the 
process list, constantly killing (disappearing) init's from lower pid's
and forking new ones with higher pid's.

so i have constantly 10-15 init's running, with constantly incementing
process id's (and an increased "background load" ...)

everything else is fine, multi- and single user mode works and /etc/rc
is properly executed.

has someone an idea why, and has this problem already been solved ?
