Linux in single user mode

That's still multi-process though, there's an awful lot of background tasks running in pretty much every non-fossil kernel version, not to mention userspace daemons (udev, dbus, dhcp) without which most normal userspace stuff doesn't even work.

None of that exists in single user. When you say init=/bin/foo, then that's it, the only process is /bin/foo.
