I discovered that this is because I had FastFPE selected in my kernel
instead of nwfpe, although I've no idea why floating point stuff would
prevent a shell from starting.
Some other things I discovered:
dropbear requires legacy (BSD) PTYs.
openntpd requires a home directory associated with the ntp account.
seems the clock has gained 90 minutes over the past 8 hours despite
openntpd, bogomips still says 49.25. Perhaps my application of the clock
patches was premature? I will keep playing and keep you all posted.
Now it's time to flesh the system out with a proper init and suchforth I
suppose :)
For others attempting this path: gentoo's crossdev is excellent, and
google is my friend, especially considering how sparsely the information
about doing this is spread.
