[ts-7000] Upgrading busybox on TS-7500

["travisp_06" <>]

I am trying to upgrade the busybox on my TS-7500 and am stuck trying to replace 
the original busybox executable with my newly built executable.

I have built a busybox 1.18.3 executable using the cross toolchain for linux.

I am able to tftp this onto /tmp/ on my TS-7500 once it has booted into TS 
Linux. The executable runs fine.

Now I want to overwrite the original busybox executable in the initrd with this 
one, however, I am unsure how to do this.

My first impression from reading the documentation was that I could simply 
delete the original executable, replace it with the new one, enter the 'save' 
command and reboot.

However when I delete busybox (using the new busybox executable) it is no 
longer visible in /bin, however a '<new busybox> df' command shows that the 
amount of free space on / hasn't changed, and copying the new busybox to 
/bin/busybox fails because there is not enough free space.

I think I'm going about this the wrong way and wonder if anyone can help me put 
this busybox executable into my initrd?

In case it helps I also have an SD Card with the debian install on it.

Many thanks,

Travis.
