Providing this means we no longer need blkid for FS detection, as mount

Once we start going down this road (cp, mount, ...), wouldn't it be
better to simply drop busybox?

Hmm... we're probably close to that point. In terms of size for the
tradeoff, we'd need (at a minimum) the following binaries to replace
busybox:
                   KB
/bin/bash         733896


Someone will throw tomatoes at me for using Bash, but Dash sucks, and
it makes a truly awful interactive shell.

Note that, if you want interactive ash shell, just open another vt (execute openvt then switch to it ALT+F2), to use a normal tty console instead of /dev/console.
