Add

umount /initrd/dev
umount /initrd/proc
umount  !whatever else you have mounted!
umount /initrd
blockdev --flushbufs /dev/ram0

to the custom j820 rc script. We need two such scripts to
clean up all the stuff after wince/ and for returning to wince,
anyway.

in .config during your kernel compilation. Because hpcboot
doesn't setup the command line options, as needed.

PID=1 because this shell script is the init in my case.

When you do 'exec /sbin/init' you are already chrooted to debian.

Imagine how i was excited when i saw X running!!
Now we need to fix opie, or to try GPE.
There are some good news from the openembedded people,
maybe we can try their zaurus image. If you remember,
my CF image is modified zaurus initrd.tar.gz
