Sometimes, on Linux systems, a kernel argument like "init=/bin/sh" is
used to enter a rescue environment, when even the traditional single
user mode is not working.  (One example of this is "I forgot root's
password", on a system where single user mode prompts for that.)

I suspect help-bash is not going to be the best list for this question,
unless the Original Poster has it working with "init=/bin/bash" and
failing with "init=/bin/mybash", where mybash is the program compiled
with whatever changes the OP introduced, and bash is the OS vendor's
bash shell.
