Aha! /sbin/init, of course! That's the one that starts up all the other processes. Easy peasy!

Hmm, I was thinking it might be /etc/rc.d/rcinit, but I'm not entirely confident about that.

I'm not sure, but I think it makes sense that /sbin/init is the first program started at boot time.

I agree with Darci. The Linux kernel usually starts /sbin/init first.

I'm pretty sure it's /sbin/init, that's the standard SysV init program, right?
