Another new behavior. I did find the uclibc arm rootfs, buried in their download directory (but not where their homepage links). I copied its /bin to my K1. I ran its busybox on my K1. This time I got yet another failure mode:

/mnt/us/bin/busybox: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

There is something strange about the loader on the K1...

And it sucks when simple step-by-step instructions that are self-proclaimed as EASY fail, which has been happening over and over for me. From broken download links, to steps that abort, to stuff not found that is obviously there where it belongs. Hmm... Just bit rot? Or bad luck?
