Agree with removing the "init" word. A single digit is assumed by the kernel to be the run level. Also, given the variability of those values, leave the current documentation at levels 1 and 3. BTW, the "init" keyword, *with* a value, specifies an alternate init process binary, e.g,, the default is "init=/sbin/init" -- David N.
