Nice that works, thanks.  Forgot about hard links.

Anyways, it still doesn't work.  Tried a bunch of times and a bunch of
different things:

1) cp /sbin/init to /sbin/init.old before upgrade; use reboot
2) cp /sbin/init to /sbin/init.old before upgrade; use init.old 6
3) ln /sbin/init to /sbin/init.old before upgrade; use reboot
4) ln /sbin/init to /sbin/init.old before upgrade; use init.old 6

in all cases, this didn't work.

I was also mistaken in an earlier post... I do not move runit to init,
but rather runit-init to init (runit stays as is).  So thinking that
might have something to do with it, I moved runit to init and then it
just plain old wouldn't let me do anything (fatal: needs to be process 1
or something similar); got that from running "runit 6", "init 6", and
"reboot".  So I think I need to have runit-init remain as init and have
it exec runit.

Could that be part of the problem?  If so, why won't runit behave if
it's renamed to init?
