We copied ls from SW31 /live/bin and that worked.

Since the older laptops that would benefit from using BL3 often don't do 
color, would you consider, some day, recompiling busybox without ls and 
using the 25K full version instead?  The busybox version makes the screen 
nearly impossible to read with ls.  Or at least include ls in the loop 
version as something that can be added easily from the DOS partition.
Or mention how to get it in the readme.
