Hi,

I had the opportunity of playing with a TS-7800 today.

First thing I noticed is that telnet threw me out straight after connection. I 
tracked this down to /dev/pts not being mounted. A simple change to /linuxrc 
fixed this:

mount -t sysfs none /sys
mount -t tmpfs none /dev
mdev -s
+ mkdir /dev/pts /dev/shm
+ mount -t devpts none /dev/pts
+ mount -t tmpfs none /dev/shm
export BOOTTIME=`mvtime`


These can probably be umounted before pivot_root if necessary.

The debian image correctly mounts /dev/pts, so this fix applies only to the 
initrd's various linuxrc scripts.

Also, it says finished booting in 4.59 seconds, rather than 1.88 as in the 
documentation. I haven't yet checked as to why this is and it's not 
particularly crucial, but I am curious about what I could check.
