It appears that my problem #2 - when booting PPC 2.6.8-rc4 ppc board without
ramdisk,
the kernel panics during NFS mounting root file system 
(/fadsroot resides on Red Hat 9 PC fileserver) is also BusyBox related !!! -
this time it is BusyBox, 
provided on the /fadsroot/bin:

[root at localhost bin]# cd ../sbin
[root at localhost sbin]# stat init
  File: `init' -> `../bin/busybox'
  Size: 14              Blocks: 0          IO Block: 4096   Symbolic Link
Device: 302h/770d       Inode: 36445       Links: 1
Access: (0777/lrwxrwxrwx)  Uid: (    0/    root)   Gid: (    0/    root)

So init is linked to /fadsroot/bin/busybox

lots of other executables are that way too ...

[root at localhost bin]# stat busybox

[root at localhost bin]# file busybox
busybox: ELF 32-bit MSB executable, PowerPC or cisco 4500, version 1 (SYSV),
