I posted an 'lc' kernel which does not require ANY modules in order to do 
usb storage and cd-burner, as you requested.  It should find sda4.
The kernel is 569K.  Would this make you enough extra space to run 
readcd and cdrecord?

I think you can, as with BL3, create a second 4MB RAMDISK for running more 
programs.  Or I can recompile with twice the RAM_SIZE if Steven thinks 
that would help.
