First check that you have the floating point emulation built in - a lot
of things won't run without it - however I don't think that's your
problem.
I'd start by peppering stuff around the init scripts to see where it
is getting upto. If you get really desparate then you could put
a printk in the exec and open syscalls - that way you'll see exactly
what files its trying to get to.
