[Miscellaneous Android Development] Dochoppy:
Guys I will get to your questions in due time. I have been working on getting our

boot.img file to unpack so the init.rc prtion can be edited to allow for a ext /system

folder, among other changes.

Gentelman, I give you the init.rc from the boot.img file.

on early-init
start ueventd

on init
