RE: [rtl] booting from flashdisk

The problem was libs were missing for bash so it could not execute the
scripts.  ldd bash gave me the answer.  Thank you :^)

multiple posibilities

1) the rc sripts have the wrong permissions
2) the libs are not in place and its not finding the required libs
3) the scripts reference /bin/sh and the link is not set to the proper shell
4) the scripts are not accessible at this point (real root not set yet)

to check whats going on boot into a root-shell by passing the kernel a

boot: linux init /bin/bash (or what ever shell you have)

and then when you get to the prompt execute all the steps in /etc/inittab
manually , this will show where it is failing.
