[BusyBox] init problem w/o CONFIG_VT in kernel

normal kernel command line is as follows:

# cat /proc/cmdline
console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/ram ramdisk_size=8192 init=/sbin/init
ip=off wdt=30

For now I changed it to
console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/ram ramdisk_size=8192 init=/bin/sh ip=off

"init=/bin/sh" does not make any change, init is started anyway. I find
myself in the same console_init() function printing

"serial console detected. Disabling virtual terminals."

and no more. Omitting the "wdt=30" option, the watchdog function is
disabled and the system does not reboot anymore, it just seems to be
stuck (at least no more console output). Hmm.
