Rob,

   I tried rw as a kernel option... no change in results.  Furthermore, I used my new \
kernel (2.6.11) and boot loader (syslinux) with my old buildroot/busybox filesystem \
from a year ago and it works fine.  Please note that both filesystems (new one is \
based on busybox 1.1.3) have the rw equivalent as the first execuable \
"null::/bin/mount..." line in the /etc/inittab file.  You can find this code in the \
example inittab for busybox.  Oh, and I also made sure I had switch_root available \
for my 2.6 kernel in case pivot_root (for kernel 2.4) was not used by busybox init.

On another note, I will check with the linux sites too.

Stan

P.S. Sorry for the top post - it's an evil blackberry thing.

Add "rw" to your kernel command line.

I don't suppose that kernelnewbies.org has a mailing list for these sort of 
questions?  (Or perhaps Linux From Scratch?)
