Have you tried to partition your 4GB and use a less than 1GB partition to boot? > The next problem arose because the etc.lrp package distributed in > uClibc_5.0.1_i486_syslinux_serial.tar.gz does not contain an inittab > file for serial access.

If you do have loaded it and the /etc/initab is still wrong, this is of course a bug. > <rant> > Now after more than 8 hours of work, some of it due to my stubbornness > to use grub as a bootloader, I have a bootable 5.01 on my WRAP, of > course without ethernet connectivity yet, as a small CF does not allow > for the fully blown modules tarball.
