Have you ever used execv() on unix? If you see some examples of use
of execv(), you will see why the panic is there. Simply because init
should really show a error message (I would print a error string, instead
of just calling PANIC0, however), if it can't run getty, if the execv()
call is successful, the PANIC0 line will not be executed, because the
process is replaced by getty. Is getty included on your disk?
