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)
Access: 2004-10-12 11:45:27.000000000 -0400

Change: 2004-09-22 15:02:54.000000000 -0400
So init is linked to /fadsroot/bin/busybox
lots of other executables are that way too ...
