never mind, bozo move on my part -- starting from the default
rpxlite_defconfig, i forgot to configure devfs back into the system.
yeah, that'll do it.  ack.

so i'm up and running.  a few glitches to take deal with, but i have a
shell, i have a root filesystem, i have networking, i still have to
beat up on busybox to start behaving:

# lsmod
lsmod: QM_MODULES: Function not implemented

but it's alive.  IT'S ALIVE!

# uname -a

rday

p.s.  i guess i'll also want to look at replacing devfs with sysfs and
udev at some point.  ah, maybe later ...
