Henning Heinold has done a lot with busybox on mips (debian installer) Might this be due to kernel 2.4 and /proc/mounts includeing a / in front of proc (flo@ping)~# cat /proc/mounts /dev/root / ext2 rw 0 0 proc /proc proc rw 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0 /dev/sda7 /usr ext2 rw 0 0 /dev/sda8 /var ext2 rw 0 0 /dev/sda9 /tmp ext2 rw 0 0 /dev/sda10 /home ext2 rw 0 0 /dev/hda5 /var/tmp ext3 rw 0 0 usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs rw 0 0 automount(pid19472) /mnt autofs rw 0 0 (flo@ping)~# uname -a Linux ping.mediaways.net 2.2.18ext3 #1 Thu Dec 14 18:24:45 CET 2000 i686 unknown Or flo@resume:~$ cat /proc/mounts /dev/root / ext2 rw 0 0 /proc /proc proc rw 0 0 /dev/sdb1 /home2 ext2 rw 0 0 /dev/sdc1 /home3 ext2 rw 0 0 /dev/sdd1 /ftp.rfc822.org ext2 rw 0 0 /dev/sde1 /home4 ext2 rw 0 0 shmfs /var/shm shm rw 0 0 devpts /home4/dev/pts devpts rw 0 0 proc /home4/proc proc rw 0 0 flo@resume:~$ uname -a Linux resume.rfc822.org 2.4.0-test6 #2 Sun Aug 27 12:37:51 GMT 2000 mips unknown Henning has fought with this IIRC.
