Well, I do need a statically linked shell with the following features:
- Size "as small as possible", currently: 150k, desired: 50k
- (Additional, to standard ash) builtin programs: cat (read doesn't handle
binary files) , insmod, rmmod, lsmod, mount, umount
- working interactive mode. Busybox does not seem to work if you call it
with /path/to/shellalias < /dev/console >/dev/console 2>&1 from a
script.
It would be nice if mount was NFS-capable, but mounting local devices
is sufficient for the boot floppy.
You should look at /linuxrc on miniroot.gz to see what commands are
needed until the CD is found and the compressed image is mounted via
cloop.
