and just to confirm my original question, any command being run in the
init script *must* come from one of exactly two places:

1) nash built-in, or
2) the initramfs directory structure

i ask since i just noticed another command, "stabilized", that i'm
going to assume is yet another built-in that didn't make it into the
latest man page.

i think i'll just download the source and poke around myself.
