Implies a level of stability greater than getting to the "press enter for sh" prompt. Virtual memory is working, filesytems are working, etc.

Also probably tests things like signals/job control. I ran into an issue bootstrapping ppcle (on linux) where everything but the signal handler (and vDSO) were working, but context switching from a kernel to a signal handler ended in SIGILL. Booting multi-user probably wouldn't work without working signals.
