INIT phase (boot process)
Init phase is started by the execution of /sbin/init
program and starts other processes after reading
the /etc/inittab file as per the directives in
the /etc/inittab file .
Two most important functions of init are
a) It runs the processes to bring the system to the default
run level state ( Run level 3 in Solaris , defined by
initdefault parameter in /etc/inittab )
b) It controls the transition between different run levels
by executing appropriate rc scripts to start and the stop
the processes for that run level.
