/etc/init.d/minircS

At least, that makes sense to me, and seems to be working well.

And a question in return: does anyone know if it's safe to mount an ext3 fs as ext2, or why the corresponding insmod for ext3.ko (same as above but with 3 instead of 2) fails? I realize that ext3 is not recommended, but I mistakenly chose ext3 for my MMC partition some time ago and have quite a lot of stuff on it now.
