So I am experimenting with the use of systemd on an Arch Linux machine.

Reading the docs, I see – https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd#Installation

add init=/bin/systemd to your kernel cmdline in your bootloader

What exactly does this mean?

I am not entirely new to linux but I am having a little trouble understanding how to get this done. Any elaboration much appreciated!

    I don’t have arch linux, but I think you should edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst and you’ll find a line similar to the following one:

    kernel /vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/sda3 ro 3
    

    simply append init=/bin/systemd to the parameters in that line, in this example it would become:

    kernel /vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/sda3 init=/bin/systemd ro 3
    

    Reboot.
