[uClibc]filesystem-access problems?

Hi, I'm kinda stumped at the moment.  For speed and convenience' sake
I went out and bought a used powermac G3 and put linux on it.  I now 
need to get busybox+uclibc+a bunch of other tools working on it.  I've
got something that seems almost right, but it's having some trouble
reading the filesystem or something somehow:

BusyBox v0.60.3-pre (2002.04.19-11:06+0000) Built-in shell (msh)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

# ls -al
0--------- 1001 1001     0       1019214980 Dec 31  1969 .
# help
help: not found
# uname -a
Linux ford 2.4.18 #2 Thu Apr 18 23:57:38 CDT 2002 ppc unknown
# echo foo
foo
# ifconfig
Warning: cannot open /proc/net/dev (No such file or directory). Limited output.
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:05:02:E1:72:6E  
          inet addr:192.168.0.12  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback  
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1

# 

The upshot is: commands that touch the filesystem (ls, du, ps ("Can't open /proc"))
don't work... but things like cat/chgrp/dmesg/touch/ping/route etc do.

Suggestions welcome, I'd not be suprised if I missed something simple...
