Hi Gregory Machin!
I am no expert.
That said I note with interest that ash is Bourn compliant, very
efficient (as in part of BusyBox for example) and as such should be a
functionally a sub set of the bash shell. See links:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almquist_shell
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/6.1/postlfs/shells.html
You probably could:
1. Simply change the first line to reference Bash.
2. Download ash (second link) and make it environmentally available.
3. Download BusyBox (it is in your initrd) and make an alias for ash
linking to it.
Oh, silly ideas in the morning.
Good Hunting!
Tod
