[BusyBox] "auto: applet not found" ...

[David Meggy]

Hi Karim

You probably want to take this to the kernel mailing list for whichever
architecture you are using.  I'd also try and write a very small
statically linked program, that just tells you that it is running, and
try using that as init.  Just to help you make sure you are clear on if
the problem is in user land or kernel land.
