about
hummingbird is an init system designed for speed.
It does nothing more than start the system and stop the system by default. There are three main "runlevels", fs which is called directly after the pseudo filesystems necessary for the system to run have been mounted, interlude which is ran before dropping the user into a tty, and tty which is what is responsible for actually starting ttys.
