Hi David busybox 1.9.2 has been added in the 3.1.1-beta earlier this week; looks like you've grabbed the latest initrd_cd_ide.lrp from the packages page. The inittab file you mention has been commited more than one year ago during the 3.1 beta cycle; so this one is different yes, but has proofed to be valid. So first use the proper initrd (should be on the iso image, or available via the cvs repository and the cvs web interface); the iso image and the floppy are usually tested with qemu - and the latest beta wih bb 1.9.2 and the inittab you mention runs fine. kp ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
