Seems happy now, we've got mfctl and dropbear on the main
romfs. Had to recompile mfctl for some reason, and change
dropbear to be running /bin/sh not /bin/sash. Flashing with ftp
and "put fimage flash" works well (writing only the romfs,
not /etc), the scrolling ftp informational messages are a
nice touch. (from
http://developer.axis.com/doc/software/flash-howto.html)

I've edited inittab and it didn't die, woo. Telnet is
disabled, you can run it manually by sshing in running
running /bin/telnetd. We will need to change the passwords
in /etc/passwd and /etc/dropbear-password. Apart from that,
I guess it needs a bit of stresstesting, then ready to ship.
