You cannot really call this a "minimal root filesystem".

A small (not even this is minimal, nor optimized) image can be found at
ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/LinuxPPC/usr/src/mini-2048kB-ramdisk.image.gz

This has:
        -> find .
        .
        ./lost+found
        ./bin
        ./bin/sh
        ./bin/ls
        ./dev
        ./dev/ttyS0
        ./dev/tty
        ./dev/console
        ./lib
        ./lib/ld.so.1
        ./lib/libc-1.99.so
        ./lib/libc.so.6
        ./lib/libtermcap.so.2.0.8
        ./lib/libtermcap.so.2
        -> du -sk .
        1367    .

Obvious optimizations: rmdir lost+found, use busybox instead of  bash
+ ls, ...
