Use a different filesystem as the root of the mount tree. Note: switch_root will fail to function if the new root is not the root of a mount. Use bind-mounting as a workaround.

Move /proc, /dev, /sys, and /run to the specified filesystem, use this filesystem as the new root, and start the specified init process

switch_root new_root /sbin/initIdentify
