  Right!  I completely forgot that!  The iso9660 target is currently broken
(and has been for quite some time already).  For the time being, you have to
manually copy fs/cpio/init to the target (either copy it to $1/init in the
post-build script, or copy it to skeleton/init and do a clean build).

  Or, you could modify fs/iso9660/iso9660.mk and Config.in to use a cpio
archive as rootfs instead of an ext2.  If you do that and it works, please
post a patch for inclusion in buildroot, thanks!

  Regards,
  Arnout
