[BusyBox] init hangs

Hi, 

I'm currently trying to port Linux to a PPC405GPR based board. The last
thing I see on the serial console is

	IP-Config: Complete:
	      device=eth0, addr=192.168.1.12, mask=255.255.255.0, gw=255.255.255.255,
	     host=solidcard, domain=, nis-domain=(none),
	     bootserver=192.168.1.1, rootserver=192.168.1.1, rootpath=
	NET4: Unix domain sockets 1.0/SMP for Linux NET4.0.
	Looking up port of RPC 100003/2 on 192.168.1.1
	Looking up port of RPC 100005/1 on 192.168.1.1
	VFS: Mounted root (nfs filesystem).
	Freeing unused kernel memory: 220k init

and then the machine stops. I can see that it execve()s init in
init/main.c:init(), but no output is printed to the terminal. I can
still ping the box, so the kernel does continue working.  

As I'm not that sure that I don't have a toolchain problem I would like
to try it again with a statically compiled ppc busybox which contains an
init applet; does anyone have such a beast? Or has anyone seen a similar
effect? 

Robert
