I know this really doesn't have much to do with Busybox, but I thought it
is might be of interest to many of the folks on the list.

If you aren't familiar with User-Mode Linux, its defintely worth checking
out. Although, it is primarily billed as a kernel-debugging tool, now that
initrd support is available (as of today) it is very handy for debugging
linuxrc's and other stuff that is generally painful about floppy/ramdisk
based distros. 

It leaves Vmware in the dust and is free/Open Source of course.
