-**-e***environment* : an absolute path. *stage 1 init* empties its environment before spawning the `rc.init` skeleton file and executing into [66-scandir](66-scandir.html) in order to prevent kernel environment variables from leaking into the process tree. The *PATH* variable is the only variable set for the environment. If you want to define additional environment variables then use this option. Behaves the same as [66-scandir -e](66-scandir.html).
