Hello folks,

please help me; I'm new in creating a custom boot disk!
I've already read the bootdisk-HOWTO and all the stuff I
could get from the busybox-homepage (README, MANPAGE, ...).
But I still have a problem:

After booting there is nothing ?!? no shell prompt no asking...

Kernel boots well
RamDisk inits ok

but then there is only one message more:
"Freeing unused kernel memory 64k freed"

and a blinking cursor and nothing I can do with it
(I can still type something on the screen?!?)

PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Perhaps there is something strange I have to write in a
/etc/init.d/rcS ???

As mentioned in the Documentation I have no "inittab", but
should work without...
