I know we don't support tablets.  That's been pretty comprehensively

But!  Suddenly a tablet appears which is both much cheaper and (in
some respects) far more powerful than the Trim Slices and BeagleBoards
that we do support.

Is it possible to support Tegra2/3 tablets, at least in a headless
configuration until there are graphics drivers?

Is there any particular reason why you cannot do something like:
1) root the device
2) dump the rootfs in a subdirectory
3) chroot /sbin/init
?

Assuming you enabled sshd, you should at that point be able to ssh into the tablet. Or is there something in the Android kernel patches that stops this approach?
