Initialize OpenRC for the default ChArch rootfs instance.

To initialize OpenRC for a default ChArch rootfs instance, you’ll essentially be replacing the default init system (likely systemd, as ChArch is Arch-based) with OpenRC. This involves several key steps.

First, install OpenRC packages. This typically includes openrc-core and potentially eudev or openrc-eudev to manage devices, as OpenRC doesn’t handle this natively like systemd.

Next, configure your bootloader (e.g., GRUB, Syslinux) to point to the OpenRC init binary (usually /usr/bin/openrc-init or /sbin/openrc-init). This is done by modifying the kernel boot parameters.

Then, you’ll need to enable essential OpenRC services. This involves using the rc-update command to add services like udev, networking, and getty (for terminal access) to the appropriate runlevels. Without these, your system may not boot correctly or be usable.

Finally, reboot your system. If configured correctly, it will boot into OpenRC. Be aware that managing services and system logging will now use OpenRC commands (e.g., rc-service, rc-status) instead of systemd’s systemctl. Some Arch Linux specific configurations or packages might require adjustments or OpenRC-compatible alternatives.
