Public bug reported:

Booting current Utopic with init=/bin/systemd fails., or installing
systemd-sysv fails. In both cases we are dealing with an absolute
symlink "/bin/systemd -> /lib/systemd/systemd" or "/sbin/init ->
/lib/systemd/systemd". I see:

/init: line 307: readlink: not found
Target filesystem doesn't have requested /bin/systemd
and then a kernel panic.
