Hi all,

I recently modified the Debian Lenny installer to automated some install
tasks.  I modified the ``init`` script on the initrd to make what I
wanted.  In this script, I have full access to the busybox binary in
/bin (an all the symlinks that point to it).

I then tried to mount a ext3 partition, but got an error:

    # mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
    mount: mounting /dev/sda1 on /mnt failed: No such file or directory

I also tried to pass the ``-t ext3`` flag:

    # mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /mnt
    mount: mounting /dev/sda1 on /mnt failed: No such device

I took some time to discover that the problem was actually that the
initrd didn't have the ext3 module, but the error is really not clear.
Something like "mount: unknown filesystem type 'ext3'" or "do you have
the ext3 kernel module" or whatever would be better.  Is there any
interest about making that?  Actually, is this possible in busybox'es
environments?

Maybe it is already implemented in a newer version...  Running
``busybox`` here tell me:

    # busybox
    BusyBox_v1.10.2_(Debian 1:1.10.2-2) ...

Thanks!
