Well, I've replaced init by a statically linked hello-world program. So
there should be no need for any shared library besides ld.so.1, the ELF
processor, but that one is loaded correctly and as far as I can see it
interprets the ELF file right; the right code is loaded (compared the
binary mem content at the entry point with objdump output) and the
correct entry point is called, but exactly after that I don't get an
answer any more. Unfortunately this is the point where the BDI doesn't
help any more because it cannot follow the user space memory mapping.

metis:/tftpboot/solidcard/sbin# file init
init: ELF 32-bit MSB executable, PowerPC or cisco 4500, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, stripped

And I don't see any call to the open() system call.
