This is nothing to do with Xen, it's just normal (and expected) Linux
knowledge I'm afraid. The /root/init.sh which I use is:
        #!/bin/sh
        set -x
        mount -o remount,rw /
        mount -t proc none /proc
        mount -t sysfs none /sys
        mount -t tmpfs none /run
        mkdir /run/lock
        /etc/init.d/udev start
        mount -t devpts none /dev/pts
        hostname -F /etc/hostname
        /etc/init.d/xencommons start
        echo 9 > /proc/sysrq-trigger 
        cd /root
        exec /bin/bash

But TBH if you don't know what an initscript is then it might be best if you try
and find someone locally (e.g. in your department) who knows about Linux
and ask them to help bring you up to speed.

Ian.
