[BusyBox] Busybox init with devfs, shmfs, and pivot_root

[Thomas Lundquist]

Hi.

I am trying to boot with busybox init but all I get is:

BusyBox v0.61.pre (2003.01.08-21:35+0000) multi-call binary

Usage: init 


Reading BusyBox.html it says:

"This version of init is designed to be run only by the kernel."

so, I guess that the reason I cannot get this working is that I 
(have to?) use a linuxrc which does the pivot_root stuff before doing:

exec chroot . /sbin/init <dev/console >dev/console 2>&1

am I correct in my guessing and if yes, what can I do then?

as far as I understand I cannot start init before I've done the 
pivot_root and run from the new, "real" root.



Thomas.
