The "free' figure printed by free doesn't include
memory used as a disk buffer cache--shown in the
"buffers" column. If you want to know how much
memory is really free add the "buffers" amount
to "free"

It should work. See /etc/inittab

As you can see in /etc/inittab
-------------------------
::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/reboot
-------------------------
Pressing CTRL-ALT-DEL tells init to execute reboot

insmod loop (this step is not necessary in BL3)
mount -o loop fs.img /mnt

The loop version of BL3 has losetup in /initrd/bin.
It's a statically linked busybox binary.
