/root/.ssh must be a directory - did a file get copied to
the wrong place? The .pub file should be copied to (or
really appended to) /root/.ssh/authorized_keys - make sure
it it isn't writable by anyone else (same for .ssh).

Dropbear should support rsa or dsa keys, assuming it's been
compiled with normal options.
