Just for my general education, do you know what program interprets the 'n
ox'
parameter and sets the runlevel?  As I understand it, init usually gets t
he
runlevel from /etc/inittab, so nox must somehow be overriding that.  I've

run strings on the init and grub binaries and grepped the output for nox,

but not come up with anything.  HOW_IT_WORKS doesn't mention nox either.
