[BusyBox] Integrating Busybox with romfs into uClinux

I need some clarification on how to use busybox with uClinux.

My understanding is
1) compile uClibc Libraries
2) compile busybox with uClibc obtain from step 1.
3) Create rootdir with subdirectories containing bin, lib, dev, etc
4) Put busybox in bin, uClibc libraries in lib and tty0 in dev, also initab and
rc.sysinit into etc
5) Create a romfs using the rootdir from step 3 to 4, resulting in romfs.img
6) link romfs.img into kernel

The following are my questions:
1) Do i need to convert busybox and uClibc ilibraries nto the flat binary format
using elf2flt ?
2) Which component (uClibc Libraries or busybox) to recompile for sparc platform ?

3) Any other highlights that i need to take note ?

thanks
