Proper portability means scripting for a POSIX sh, and /bin/sh can
handle those scripts. In the majority of cases replacing == by = in
test or [ commands suffices.

We'd need something for fsck and thereabouts though... if /usr is on,
for instance, an ext2 file system (which is part of the kernel after
all), we need the tools early in the boot process, before /usr is there.
