Do you mean /etc/init.d/rcS ? It's supposed to be invoked from
/etc/inittab in sysinit state, but doesn't seem to be succeeding.
I'll be doing some more debugging tomorrow.

Is there an easy way to work out which recipe installed which file
into the rootfs? find recipes -type f -print0 | xargs -0 grep rcS took a long
time to find sysvinit together with a lot of false positives.  How
will this work if I try to use busybox init instead of sysvinit?

In a normal system (with initscripts installed), it looks as if /sys
and /proc are mounted by /etc/init.d/sysfs.sh before udev is started.
