Init.c, making it chroot

[Erik Udo]

I just made patch. It's supposed to run /etc/rc before chrooting. This is
the NetBSD "way" of doing it. All i can say is that it compiled. So if
anyone can look at it before i get to test it becouse i might be forgetting
something. (i can't even test it now)

diff attached.
