Probably, but I don't think that the bug is in busybox. It
might be in your boot-directly-to-X configuration.

I moved my existing fs.img and unpacked a fresh copy from BL3.40.
After I booted into it, I tried dd from vt1, vt2, and vt3. It works on all
three, equally well. The initial path is /. I configured and started X
and it works in an rxvt started from the menu and an rxvt started
from an existing rxvt (rxvts started in this way do not keep the BL
aliases). So something in your configuration must be odd.

I found a real bug in BL3.40 busybox: cat does not behave
properly if it is fed a directory name instead of a regular file.
Compare the output of 'cat /bin' on BL3.32 and BL3.40. I will see
if the busybox maintainer knows about this. We probably don't
need this to be fixed.

This might require the opl3sa2.o module, like my desktop card.
