[Devel] OpenVZ & Busybox?

I've started to look into this for my own uses - did you make any
progress on getting this working?

I'm stuck at:
  [root at hc etc]# vzctl start 139
  Starting container ...
  Container is mounted
  Adding IP address(es): 192.168.10.20
  bash: applet not found
  Setting CPU units: 1000
  Configure meminfo: 131072
  Set hostname: uclibc.hostname
  bash: applet not found
  Container start in progress...

And
  [root at hc etc]# vzctl enter 139
  entered into CT 139
  bash: applet not found
  exited from CT 139

Does anyone else have suggestions on how to debug this?

Regards,

Chris
