  Err... yeah, I guess that would help :).  I think all you need is:
1) filesystems you want to mount (both raw and block)
2) Appropriate tty(s)
3) console

Also:
1) /sbin/fsck
2) /sbin/mount
3) /etc/rc that does the right thing with the above
4) /sbin/halt, /sbin/reboot, or /sbin/shutdown

/usr/sbin/syslogd might be nice to have too.
