No disaster happened, and then I've got new busybox running there.
Wow.

This one's original:

root:/bin> ./busybox.org
BusyBox v1.4.1 (2008-03-18 16:13:54 CST) multi-call binary
Copyright (C) 1998-2006 б═Erik Andersen, Rob Landley, and others.
Licensed under GPLv2. б═See source distribution for full notice.

Usage: busybox [function] [arguments]...
   or: [function] [arguments]...

        BusyBox is a multi-call binary that combines many common Unix
        utilities into a single executable.  Most people will create a
        link to busybox for each function they wish to use and BusyBox
        will act like whatever it was invoked as!

Currently defined functions:
        [, [[, awk, basename, bunzip2, bzcat, cat, chgrp, chmod,
        chown, chroot, clear, cmp, cp, cpio, crond, crontab, cut,
        date, dd, df, diff, dmesg, du, echo, env, expr, false,
        fdisk, find, free, fsck, ftpget, ftpput, getopt, getty,
        grep, gunzip, gzip, head, hostname, hwclock, id, insmod,
        kill, killall, klogd, last, ln, logger, logname, losetup,
        ls, lsmod, md5sum, mdev, mkdir, mkfifo, mknod, modprobe,
        more, mount, msh, mv, nc, netstat, nslookup, pidof, ping,
        printf, ps, pwd, readlink, renice, rm, rmdir, rmmod, sed,
        seq, sh, sleep, sort, stty, sync, syslogd, tail, tar,
        tee, test, tftp, time, top, touch, tr, traceroute, true,
        tty, umount, uname, uniq, uptime, usleep, vconfig, vi,
        watch, wc, wget, which, whoami, xargs, yes, zcat

And this one is new:
