These commands are executed from init
insmod /boot/modules/fs/ramfs.o
mount -vnt devfs nodev /devfs
mount -vnt proc nodev /proc
mount -vnt ramfs nodev /tmp
insmod /boot/modules/block/floppy.o
mount -vnt minix /devfs/floppy/0 /floppy
tar -xzvf /floppy/boot/etc.tgz -C /tmp passwd
I believe it is on the mount command that the Oops occurs. The Oops always
happens when executed from init, but not always when done manually. It also
seems avoidable if the floppy driver is compiled in (not a module).
