Summary:                    While Busybox 1.3.1 booted, 1.4.2 does not
Description: 
I've made a two-floppy linux system. First it had Busybox 1.3.1, then I
upgraded to 1.4.2 and used the exact same config (builtin shell
ash+utils).
It still boots on newer comps, but on my old laptop it won't anymore.

Here I point that it booted fine with 1.3.1.

I'm sure it's busybox, 'cause that's the only thing that changed. After
kernel boot it is supposed to start the init script but now it just hangs
after "released 128k of kernel memory".

Init script:

#/bin/sh
echo -n "."
/bin/mount -o remount,rw /
/bin/mount -a
export PATH=/bin;/sbin;/usr/bin
openvt 2 /bin/sh
openvt 3 /bin/sh
exec /bin/sh </dev/tty1 >/dev/tty1

For debugging I added that echo dot. The lappy does not get there. No
errors, just hangs.
