[BusyBox] can't access tty: job control turned off

[tom at ceisystems.com]

Gad,
	When you built BusyBox, did you enable the "-e" and "-n"
features?  This could be the source of your problem.  If you're not
sure, you could forward your .config file to the list.

Good Luck,

The startup scripts come from the documentation in 0.60.5 (which 
explains how to make a boot floppy):

/etc/profile:
# /etc/profile: system-wide .profile file for the Bourne shells

echo
echo -n "Processing /etc/profile... "
# no-op
echo "Done"
echo

/etc/inittab:
::sysinit:/etc/init.d/rcS
::respawn:-/bin/sh
tty2::askfirst:-/bin/sh
::ctrlaltdel:/bin/umount -a -r

/etc/init.d/rcS:
#! /bin/sh
/bin/mount -a
