That's a big "if". Systemd is usually interwoven with the
initramfs and<br>
usually implies big, complicated initramfs'.<br>

init=/bin/bash is an old time diagnostic to debug early boot
and init.<br>
It's not a substitute for any init system.<br>
<br>
<br>
One more thing: This is a diagnostic, not a solution for
"systemd<br>
haters". And speaking of the phrase "systemd haters", a more
accurate<br>
representation would be "lovers of simplicity, modularity,
and<br>
functionality."<br>
