Good stuff :-)

put the files (rc and inittab) into vendors/my_company/my_project/.
Then in the "romfs" section of vendors/my_company/my_project/Makefile
add the folowing lines:
$(ROMFSINST) /etc/rc
$(ROMFSINST) /etc/inittab
$(ROMFSINST) -s /bin/init /init
then when you run:
make romfs
or just when you do a full build, the files (and symlink)
will get installed. There are lots of examples in the tree
for doing this, have a look around,
Cheers,
