So it still uses the initramfs even though you didn't specify root=/dev/ram0? Richard said something about that (I wasn't aware of this behavior). Apparently you need to remove the initrd parameter in order to disable it. |

Genkernel builds busybox with the config file in /usr/share/genkernel/$arch/busy-config. Of course, it will only build busybox if it doesn't find a suitable binary in your bincache (specified in /etc/genkernel.conf). |

You don't do busybox --install, that happens automatically in the init script. It seems that the genkernel devs may have overlooked this minor detail. It's easy to forget about it after you have a working busybox in your bincache. |
