Quickstart on making the Busybox boot-floppy: 1) Download Busybox and uClibc from CVS or tarballs. Make sure they share a common parent directory. (i.e. busybox/ and uclibc/ are both right off of /tmp, or wherever.) 2) Build a Linux kernel. Make sure you include support for initrd. 3) Put a floppy in the drive. Make sure it is a floppy you don't care about because the contents will be overwritten. 4) As root, type ./mksyslinux.sh path/to/linux/kernel from this directory. Wait patiently while the magic happens. 5) Boot up on the floppy.
