Please don't attach screenshots in posts to the list.

Graphic files are large relative to the text posted, this post of yours
with the screenshot is roughly 100 times the size of the average of the
two posts that have been sent in reply to it at the time I am typing this
reply. Some people pay for bandwidth or have limited connection time and
large posts eat up more bandwidth, thus costing them more over time and
they are all here trying to help as volunteers.

In addition, your screenshot did not give any more information that if you
had just typed the output:
BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-5ubuntu12) Built-in shell (ash) Enter
'help' for a list of built-in commands. (initramfs) -

I think you were trying to give as much information as possible but it
isn't appropriate to send unrequested attachments. One possible exception
to that might be if an attachment is requested of you by someone trying to
help but usually in that case a helper would suggest a place to put the
file that could be accessed outside of email to the list.
