[BusyBox] still fighting with minit

[Robert P. J. Day]

  if anyone else has successfully configured and used minit, i'd like to 
chat since i'm still having no luck with it.

  before now, i'd been using a regular init program, which has worked
splendidly.  i reconfigured BB to switch from init to minit, and added a
fairly simple /etc/minit structure, just running four tasks at boot time,
simple stuff that i had init doing before like configuring the net 
loopback interface, mounting /proc, that sort of thing.

  after switching to minit, when i boot the system, at the kernel boot 
line, i add "init=/sbin/minit", the kernel boots normally, at which point 
i get:

...
Freeing unused kernel memory: 60k init
BusyBox v1.00-pre8 (2004.03.24-20:12+0000) multi-call binary

Usage: busybox [function] [arguments]...
   or: [function] [arguments]...
...

then a kernel panic.  it seems that minit isn't even starting to run
normally.

  i'm definitely open to suggestions.  i've verified that i have
/sbin/minit -> ../bin/busybox.  any thoughts?  i'm pretty much out of
ideas.
