[BusyBox] Problem with mount

[Brian Webb]

If tmpfs is only in recent kernels then I can't really use it.  I'm using 
a highly patched 2.4.0-test9 kernel, and I didn't make the patches, so it 
would be a major undertaking to upgrade.  I suppose I could try patching 
in the tmpfs code, but ramfs is working fine for me, and I suspect that 
tmpfs will have the same problem anyway.

BTW, I found the source of the mount problem and I'll send out a patch 
soon.
