I've updated the busybox post to include an ipkg installer for busybox.

Then I did the following.

Code:
root@ereader:/media/cf# ipkg install busybox_1.7.2_ereader.ipk 
Upgrading    busybox on root from 1.01-r2 to 1.7.2...
Configuring busybox
Code:
/bin/busybox --install -s
Code:
busybox --help
BusyBox v1.7.2 (2007-10-30 12:45:14 EDT) multi-call binary

   or: [function] [arguments]...

        BusyBox is a multi-call binary that combines many common Unix
        utilities into a single executable.  Most people will create a
        link to busybox for each function they wish to use and BusyBox
        will act like whatever it was invoked as!
