Re: NAND Boot Testing - 01-07: Panel power on/off fixes

ACL, I'm custom building a busybox for us, and I've already compiled a flash_erase from the latest mtd utils. I currently have the initrd.gz at 1.1 MB, but I think I can shave quite a bit off if I remove some of the unnecessary stuff from busybox.

Here's what I need to know. Do we only need the commands that are used in initrd.gz and init.rc to be referenced to busybox, or do we need all of the commands that are in the /bin folder for initrd? There are quite a few commands in there that we do not use, and I'm wondering if I need to keep them, or if I can just add them in the future if we need them.

Once finished cleaning that up, I think we can get initrd.gz under 1 MB. I also think we can clear up another 3 MB of space by shifting the partition table, but I'll play with that later. Also, I'm still not sure why we are starting at an offset of 64MB for our partitions, and we can reclaim some of that space if we can find where it is safe to move it to. I'm trying to get us enough space in the system partition that we can accommodate the chefs while still having plenty of room for user date
