I noticed the initrd for SLES9 SP3 (I think that's equivlaent to Suse 9 SP2) has an exec option.
I also noticed the initrd has a small cache of binaries in the /lbin directory
Some are very interesting, like wget and sh
Does anyone have any experience with the 'exec=' option?
Can it be used to start a /lbin/sh shell to run a small script?
/lbin/sh is a very limited shell implementation that can just run commands and do output redirection. So, in theory, you can use 'exec' in sles9, but the set of commands that is available is really limited. Things are different with sles10 or later, though, where you have a bash as shell and a number of tools are available.
