Setting the system variable "foreground" to yes causes the system to run
the init scripts in series and wait for completion.
This is useful if (a) you don't want the user getting into the console
until the system is initialized, or (b) you have things going on in your
scripts that require strict ordering (and no possible race conditions).

We try to unconditionally execute /etc/rc.d/* files, even if they're
not executable - an easy way of temproarily disabling a service. When
this happens, we get a permission denied error on boot.
This change only tries to run execulable startup scripts.
