Step 6: Replace /sbin/init
Now it is time to replace the sysvinit /sbin/init binary:
# mv /sbin/init /sbin/init.sysv
# ln -s runit-init /sbin/init
---cut---
IMO this is bad idea. I've used this few years, and then switch back to
using kernel param init= instead. This is because your linux distribution
from time to time may wish to update sysvinit package, and so it will
overwrite /sbin/init. And next reboot will be "surprise!", unless you
really-really careful and detect sysvinit upgrade and replace /sbin/init
with runit-init again after upgrade but before reboot. I've no idea how
often sysvinit package upgraded in other linux distributions, but in
Gentoo it upgrade, or at least recompile/reinstall every few months.
