Ok, guys, I'm trying to add this to Backupmenu.
I've managed to get fbcon to load(requires bitblit, font and softcursor), but despite it loading and seemingly giving me a console(I see the boot log in the background, like having a framebuffer kernel), I cannot get an interactive shell.
running 'sh' just ends immediately.
Note that I haven't grabbed 'loadkmap' yet, but I'd expect to *see* a console, even if I can't type much if at all.
Or am I wrong there?

My codeis as follows:

Code:

					name=`busybox uname -r`
					insmod /lib/modules/$name/font.ko
					insmod /lib/modules/$name/softcursor.ko
					insmod /lib/modules/$name/bitblit.ko
					insmod /lib/modules/$name/fbcon.ko					
					busybox sh
					$T2S -s 2 -H center -y $y -T 0xF800 -t "line: $?"; y=$((y+20))
					pressAnyKey

and I get "line: 0", then my pressAnyKey code. The shell doesn't seem to do anything... what am I doing wrong?
