very picky! boot message is misleading

Bug Description

this is very picky and paranoid, but please bear in mind that after the usual "...ok booting the kernel" the following message shows up:

* version 2.86 booting

that's deceving, an unexperienced user might think "kernel version 2.86 is booting"... needless to say, the abovementioned message should be something like:

* INIT version 2.86 booting

or, even better (more consistently):

* Starting INIT

ok, you are now entitled to tell me to keep my mouth shut and stop sending in silly bug reports till dapper goes live ;) regards, andre
