|/dev/* if you mount / ro - there are a bunch of stuff like some_command

|cat > /boot/kernel.h << EOF
| <snipped>
|EOF
|
|This will fail if /boot is ro.

Actually I did it.
The /dev /var /tmp were mounted on ramdisk and / was on cdrom. It booted
well with little hacking of rc.sysinit and some complaints, but I could use
bash and run some perl scripts also.
The binaries on cdrom were minimal debian installation and perl+apache+lynx.
