The +kernel passes its arguments to init. That means you can for example +have a service /etc/minit/sos-shell that starts a /bin/sh and then use +LILO to boot "bzImage sos-shell". minit will then run that service. +If none of the services worked (or none were given), minit will spawn +the service "default". The normal way to configure minit is to have +default be an empty service and just list all the services you want +minit to start at boot time in default/depends. + +Other special services (besides "default") are "ctrlaltdel" and "kbreq". +ctrlaltdel will be run when the console user presses ctrl-alt-del and is +meant to reboot the computer. kbreq is the keyboard request, which +can be mapped using loadkeys. On my box, it is on Alt+Arrow-Up. I use +it to shut down the computer.
