Did you also INSTALL the ELDK?  Without doing this first, you cannot
really use it.

on CD? Which CD?  This is certainly not part of the ELDK distribution
media.

Be careful. It is good old tradition that command line options
_preceed_ any file arguments. Some commands may accept this (the "rm"
from the GNU coreutils package does), but others may not.

I guess this raised an errro?

Why did you not use the existing BusyBox binaries that come with the
ELDK?

You might want to look into the root file system builder, rfsb. See
here:  http://git.denx.de/?p=rfsb.git

Well, isn't the error message clear enough? Does the mount point
/media/ exist in your file system?
