If that was what you were doing, no, but it's not. Rather than booting 
normally, and having the first process be some init task, we're using 
bash, so we can skip out the tedious "having to log in" business (as 
well as all the other goodness that init normally handles for us) 
What'll happen is that your boot sequence will end quite rapidly. Try 
it out, you may find it interesting.

Cheers,

Simon
