Set PATH during uClinux kernel boot

I'm running uClinux on the DE2 board. I've added detail in my design to include an SD card. I mount the SD card in the rc file. This allows me to easily add user files the the uClinux file system....

Traditionally /etc/profile and $HOME/.profile are run (sourced) for login shells.

Not sure of the pedigree oh 'sash', might be based on 'ash'.

The scripts it runs at startup, and the order, are only likely to be obtainable from specifc documentation or reading the C source for the shell itself.

The kernels default $PATH might also be settable - but again that is kernel/OS dependant.
