if you add realinitpath="<path1> <path2>" to dracut.conf, then it will
be written to $initdir/etc/cmdline.d/distroinit.conf with
"rd.distroinit=<path1> rd.distroinit=<path2>" and evaluated by
99base/init, when it searches for init.
Option --ctty will optionally add setsid binary to dracut's image.
During runtime, if rd.ctty is set and is a character device,
emergency shells will be spawned with job control.
in case no ctty was provided, shell was spawned without caring about
/dev/console. Also, the ctty is more opportunistic. If the image was
generated with --ctty, we will fallback to /dev/tty1 if rc.ctty is
invalid or missing. Otherwise we spawn standard shell on /dev/console

When the initqueue cannot be processed, it might be about an invalid
root device (in which case a separate message produced via
wait_for_dev() should be displayed anyway), but it could also
be for any other reason (e.g. /dev/resume not existing).
Therefore, it is best to use a more generic error message.
Also a minor tab->space conversion in the near vacinity of
the real change.

If /proc/cmdline is empty (like if root=... is set in /etc/cmdline),
modules.d/99base/init will crash with a message saying "can't shift that
many" right before switch_root. The problem is in the block of code that
tries to look for init args. It does something like:
read CMDLINE </proc/cmdline
[...]
set $CMDLINE
shift
If CMDLINE="" then "set $CMDLINE" will dump all the variables to stdout.
(That should be "set -- $CMDLINE" instead.) Since there's no $1, the
"shift" causes an error, and dracut crashes.
The 'shift' was copy-and-pasted from the previous block. It doesn't
belong here; remove it.

Given that we boot into a modern Linux distribution with the "/run" toplevel
directory, we can easily mount move the whole /run directory to the real
root in the end and have the complete initramfs later on in
/run/initramfs. All log files and /run states are still accessible and
to save space /run/initramfs can be removed later on.
Because the kernel does not mount a tmpfs on /run prior to unpacking the
initramfs cpio image, we have to copy ourselves very early to a tmpfs
and mount it on /run.
Due to lazy umount the old initramfs binaries should
be removed in the end by switch_root.
This feature can be turned on with "--prefix".
