-config INIT_FALLBACK
-        bool "Fall back to defaults if init= parameter is bad"
-        default y
-        help
-          If enabled, the kernel will try the default init binaries if an
-          explicit request from the init= parameter fails.
-
-          This can have unexpected effects.  For example, booting
-          with init=/sbin/kiosk_app will run /sbin/init or even /bin/sh
-          if /sbin/kiosk_app cannot be executed.
-
-          The default value of Y is consistent with historical behavior.
-          Selecting N is likely to be more appropriate for most uses,
-          especially on kiosks and on kernels that are intended to be
-          run under the control of a script.
