Erik Andersen [Wed, 8 Mar 2000 06:52:04 +0000 (06:52 -0000)]
First edition of my Busybox kernel patch.  implements devps, devmtab, and
devmodules.  With this patch, you can enable BB_FEATURE_USE_DEVPS_N_DEVMTAB and
have a completely full featured busybox without having to even compile /proc
into the kernel.  I'm pretty proud of this patch.  It has a few loose ends that
should be filled in sometime, but arn't used by busybox (so they arn't very
important).
