As far as I understand, the line above specifies where the module utilities
(lsmod, modprobe, etc) come from. busybox is installed anyway, otherwise one
wouldn't even have the shell in the initrd.

The issue comes from the differences between the busybox configuration files:
initrd_source/patches/busybox.no_modutils.config and busybox.standard.config.
Probably the standard config has been updated but the no_modutils version
didn't get the additional functionality (logger and nc).

Anyway, logger and nc are not needed in the OSCAR use of systemimager, they
look like extended functionality... If somebody readds them, please add also
"dd", it is most useful when one has to delete the bootblocks and MBR of a
disk where the installation didn't succeed.

Erich
