By default, Oracle will look in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs. Usually I place file system links in that directory that point to the real init files, which I store in
$ORACLE_BASE/admin/SID/pfile. For example, when I create a new database, I create a link like this:

ln -f $ORACLE_BASE/admin/SID/pfile $ORACLE_HOME/dbs

Hope this helps.

Jonathan
