Back in June, Dan Jacobson asked about the shell offered during boot of a 2.4.xx K 7 shell. (Mine is K6, but message and behavior is the same here.) I never saw a response for this, and while his message is archived, there is no response archived.
I would like to know what the shell is for? Does anyone know? Lacking that, can someone point me to a place I can find out?
