Using the script, I met some problems making the
initramfs.gz. It confused me a lot... I don't have busybox under
/usr/bin or /usr/sbin. Where to get it?

(host)$./go.sh nfs_tcp

File /usr/sbin/busybox could not be opened for reading
  line 55
File /lib64/libtirpc.so.3 could not be opened for reading
  line 306
File nc-vsock could not be opened for reading
  line 321
File ../netperf-2.7.0/src/netserver could not be opened for reading
  line 325

It results in guest kernel_panic when gdb launches the guest:

[    0.425738] Failed to execute /init (error -2)

Looking forward to the kind reply.
BTW, for the following questions that I sent two days ago, I have some
ideas in mind and it could be ignored now.
