It only looks in sysdir:

    ksprintf(shellpath, sizeof(shellpath), "%ssh%s", sysdir, ext);

# ifdef VERBOSE_BOOT
    boot_printf(MSG_init_starting_shell, shellpath);
# endif
    r = sys_pexec(100, shellpath, init_tail, _base->p_env);

So the message you get on real hardware is interesting. I just tested it  
on my TT:

sh.tos is in c:/mint and in c:/mint/1-18-cur. It loads it from the latter  
as it does on aranym.
sysdir is what becomes $SYSDIR.

On aranym I just get a not-found-error and the internal shell is launched  
when sh.tos is only in c:/mint.

This is what I'd expect from the code in init.c.
