ive done this once myself ... your best bet is: |
| 8 |
- install busybox into the glibc system (if you dont already have it) |
| 9 |
- build up a uClibc chroot somewhere so it has everything you need |
| 10 |
- tar up the uClibc chroot and move it to your firewall / dir |
| 11 |
- login to the firewall machine |
| 12 |
- run `bb` |
| 13 |
- run something like `rm -rf /bin /etc /lib* /opt /sbin /usr /var` |
| 14 |
- unpack the uClibc chroot tar into / (make sure to use the p option) |
| 15 |
- trying starting either dropbear or sshd |
| 16 |
- make sure you can login to the machine before exiting your bb shell |

of course you may want to tweak certain details and YMMV :P |
