Check the permissions on the /etc/init.d/rc script (that is, make sure
you check the one on $LFS if you are going to check this outside of the
chroot'ed environment). Make sure the owner of the file (should be root)
is able to execute it.

If so, then boot LFS by entering this at the LILO: prompt:
	lfskernel init=/bin/bash

then start "/etc/init.d/rcS" yourself, afterwhich you should run
"/etc/init.d/rc 3". This way you may get more errors indicating why init
wasn't able to start the rc script.
