Re: busybox switch_root: not rootfs

Thanks for the tip.  I run from /init and things seem
to be working (although i get an nfs error now... this
is a different issue I think).

I also needed to put the command "exec" infront of my
switch_root command:

In other words, putting the following line in my /init
file seems to have solved the problem:

exec switch_root /tmp/nfsroot /sbin/init

Thanks,
Jon
