Solution #1: compile fdisk and mkfs.minix
	as options of your bootimage's busybox.
Solution #2: install and use mke2fs from an NFS partition
	(assuming you have a network card or get PPP to work).
Solution #3: make a bigger bootimage that includes mke2fs.

Basically, checkout CVS, make, make menuconfig and make in busybox,
rm busybox, build again.

Presumably, it depends on a lot of dynamic link libraries:
	ldd /sbin/mke2fs
