When the kernel starts up it calls the "init" process whose job it is to get stuff initialised.

There are a number of init files which this process reads in order to do this which you might think of as like the old "autoexec.bat" on Windows - something that gets run when the OS first gets going.

On a real device there's an init.device.rc file which sets stuff up specific to that device, but presumably you're on an emulator as init.goldfish.rc is the file that gets read on an emulator. Not sure about the specifics of the "marvel" one. Probably something to do with Spiderman wink

Marvel is the codename for the Wildfire S.

Oh, interesting… good point. Haven't checked whether the goldfish file is there on physical devices too.
