21 BTW, "which busybox" returns /bin/busybox instead of /sbin/busybox

23 In other words, all this time /sbin/linuxrc *didn't* run on my boxen,

25 that is (I forgot to write down the exact error message in dmesg).

27 After fixing the hashbang line, I can now insert the line "mount -o
28 remount,rw /" at the 2nd line...
