Is there any particular reason why you cannot do something like:
1) root the device
2) dump the rootfs in a subdirectory
3) chroot /sbin/init
?
Assuming you enabled sshd, you should at that point be able to ssh
into the tablet. Or is there something in the Android kernel patches
that stops this approach?
As Peter said, I didn't know the Android kernel was sufficiently
compatible. I'll give it a go later on my Galaxy Tab.
