All busybox functions are symlinks to /bin/busybox.  So running more
'ldd' checks isn't going to tell us much.

I'm dubious.  I still havn't figured out exactly what the problem is.
So far I have only seen vague guesses to a problem, but I don't see
what the original problem is that people are guessing about.
So far, I'm guessing that the problem is some version of boot floppies
of powerpc failed to boot...

Is this a serial console?  What kernel verison is being used?
Do we have a log of what does happen on boot?
