[BusyBox] bug#1054: Not df bug at all...........

Turns out, the way I created a ram disk, it used a default size 
instead of the one I wanted.

Instead of

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ram2 bs=1k count=2048
mkfs.minix /dev/ram2
mount /dev/ram2 /mnt/ram

I needed to do:

mkfs.minix /dev/ram2 2048
mount /dev/ram2 /mnt/ram

The former resulted in (in my case) a ramdisk of 16M; the latter 
created a ramdisk of 2M.

Thanks for all your hard work - now somebody close this thing :-)
