[BusyBox] [patch] incorrect paths in init.c

Hi all,
init.c tries to mount swap partitions if the amount of memory available
is quite small. Unfortunately, the commands don't work, since
only "swapon" and "mount" are supplied to run(), which doesn't search
the PATH environment variable.
My patch below gives the full path. Perhaps a better solution would
be to search PATH instead... up to you...
BTW, why is mount in /bin and swapon in /sbin? I'm getting this
from the Debian boot floppies initrd.
Cheers,
Andrew
