Well, the real solution would be to add the minix module to the
kernel.

You have to:

1) Add minix-modules to linux-kernel-di-armel-2.6.  This is a one line
change: create the file modules/armel-orion5x/minix-modules and
include the line:
#include <minix-modules>

2) edit
installer/build/pkg-lists/netboot/network-console/arm/orion5x.cfg and
add the new minix-modules

3) update your oldsys-preseed patch to mount the minix fs.

One more thing: it would be nice to add a test case (see tests/).  You
can simply put the files you need into a tar file (rather than minix)
and then untar it... (for the test case)
