Introduction

This chapter will create the necessary scripts that are run at boottime. These scripts perform tasks such as remounting the root file system mounted read-only by the kernel into read-write mode, activiating the swap partition(s), running a check on the root file system to make sure it's intact and starting the daemons that the system uses.
