Some weeks ago I allready used the fedora rootfs in combination with the
factory kernel / uboot, which did not use the init boot option. How did

Yeah without init= it defaults to the distro /sbin/init, which fires up all the initscripts accordingly.  It's really slow.

they achiev it to get a login prompt? What did they do, I am really
curious and would like to recreate that behaviour

I also did this a while back, it needed meddling in /etc/securetty and at that time /etc/inittab, nowadays it seems you have to meddle with upstart stuff somehow.

Or, cut out all the slow init stuff and run it by hand on your serial console as shown in the previous mail.
