error

Hi, I am using busybox shell to execute a script which the bash executes when i boot linux using the nfs. Please let me know the correct alternative for this line.

cur_major=$((0x`stat -c %t $dev 2>/dev/null`))

The busybox throws in an error saying "0x" syntax error, which i understand is the problem with the syntax of this line.

Thanks in advance

My problem is the opposite. I want to deliberately start Busybox at boot time either from GRUB, or even… >>> More
