Try:
rm linuxrc && ln -s /linuxrc-sdroot /linuxrc && save
Some of the earlier busybox implementations did not warn you when
attempting to create a link when the file already exists. Make sure you
remove it first, but either way you can verify with 'ls -l /linuxrc' to
see what it is linked to before you reboot.
