OK, from poking around it looks as though TS is using a modified
version of busybox to load up sdcard.o and then to invoke a second
linuxrc file.

Has anyone succesfully built an initrd for the 7300 with standard
busybox code and shell scripts?

It's a tight fit to pack all that into the 1 MB partition.  Can we
make that partition bigger?
