2.3.3 SLRS Boot System

A special boot system performs the boot process, especially the loading of the
more substantial system and application images. The boot system contains:
Kernel modules for hardware and network support, cramfs, and file sys-
tem modules
GLIBC library
Busybox-based shell environment for scripting and system control
Multicast TFTP–capable TFTP client (atftp)
linuxrc script for sytem setup and synchronization
Busybox provides a simple shell, scripting tools (sed, md5sum), kernel module
handling tools, and a syslog daemon. For security and space reasons, no login
capability is provided, neither locally nor over the network.
