One thing to add to Ross's reply, is that typically, the PATH environment variable doesn't have much in it at that point, if anything. So, when you're adding functionality, you need to be careful about specifying commands with the complete path to them from / on down. So, if you need to do a modprobe, for instance, /sbin/modprobe will work (if that's where it's located on your system), but just plain modprobe will not.
