Thanks, Juraj,

as you can see from the snippet above, I _HAVE_ checked tlki, but the 
description there ends with the call of rest_init().

Seems, I chose the wrong description - with 'boot procedure' - I actually 
meant the mount operations within that procedure. Sorry, I'm a newbie ;-)
So, what I am interested in, is the code in that do_mounts.c (in 2.4.19, in 
older kernels like 2.4.4 that file doesn't exist), especially the routine 
prepare_namespace(), which is called from the init() thread before exec'uting 
/sbin/init or similar.
