I'm on drugs, sorry if this post is illegible.
The original inittab included by BuildRoot looked like this:
# Startup the system
::sysinit:/bin/mount -o remount,rw /
::sysinit:/bin/mount -t proc proc /proc
::sysinit:/bin/mkdir -p /dev/pts
::sysinit:/bin/mount -a
Anyone else have a problem with this? On my mips, I have an NFS mounted
RFS. With the above configuration, I cannot get the system to remount
because proc is not mounted (apparently this version of BusyBox mount
requires proc????).
The fix I have done is to reverse the mounting/remounting of proc and
the RFS as follows:
# Startup the system
::sysinit:/bin/mount -t proc proc /proc
::sysinit:/bin/mount -o remount,rw /
::sysinit:/bin/mkdir -p /dev/pts
::sysinit:/bin/mount -a
The question I have is should we change the inittab from within
BuildRoot or is there really only a problem with something in my
configuration?
Andy

All the busybox versions I've used required /proc to be mounted. In
particular /proc/filesystem which is parsed by busybox to guess the
available filesystems supported by the kernel when mounting with "-t
auto".

inittab ordering causes mount to fail on remount,rw. inittab
changed to mount /proc first.
