Rajko,
Have you done anything with KIWI?
No yet.. Right now I'm reading one of the links on the http://en.opensuse.org/KIWI that gave me idea why you expected that init is a script. It can be, as it is in 10.2 /boot/initrd-xyz, but it can be any executable, as it is in mini iso.
KIWI will eventually be the premier way to build all images from openSUSE, if you have talents with initrd's and the kernel-default environment, we could use some help with building the kernel description for the netboot process, it mostly would be knowing what things to remove from the kernel to make a light weight initrd, the LTSP5 initrd in Ubuntu is only 4 MB I can only get ours down to 16 from 61.
Sizes mini iso initrd 12619K 12.5 MB initrd-2.6.18.8-0.5-default 3445328 3.5 MB second is produced by mkinitrd script. It is pretty simple in the openSUSE environment that initrd is intended for, and not so simple if it has to be build for different machine. I haven't tried the former, yet.
if so the guys are there usually in #opensuse-kiwi @ freenode from early AM EST to around 12 noon EST
