<div dir="ltr">You know more than I do on this topic. :) I do not have an URL for how Scratch boots directly, but I can point you to documentation on the <a href="http://raspberrypi.org">raspberrypi.org</a> website that shows you how to configure it in raspi-config (basically, you select an option - all the details are abstracted away). I have already asked this question on the raspberrypi forums, and I have not yet received a reply:<div>

</div>I haven't looked at how Scratch does it (do you have a URL?).<br>
<br>
But in general the simplest thing would be to just launch Squeak from the linux startup mechanism. When the Linux kernel is finished booting, it runs an executable specified in /etc/inittab. Typically that's "init" which then executes the rc script which in turn launches everything, including the graphical shell. That is where you can hook into - either with an X server (so you would have to make Etoys auto-start when X is run) or without the X server using Squeak's fbdev display driver. The latter would make startup faster, but you would have to benchmark both to know for sure which would be more efficient at runtime.<br>
