CTRL-C - Make the hurting stop

[Jason Farque]

Well known issue I realize, but I can't ctrl-c in my ttyS0 terminal
window because it's not a controlling tty.  I've tried the methods of
using getty, using cttyhack, and modifying ctty.c all to no avail.  I've
read all that I can google up about it and have tried various
work-arounds all to no avail.  I still can't ctrl-c in my terminal with
busybox 1.8.2.

I'm on a MIPS au1550 embedded system, big endian, using 2.6.12 linux
kernel.  What I want is for Busybox 1.8.2 (which compiles and runs fine)
to simply boot to a root command prompt on my system without a login
prompt the way that my old Busybox 1.2.2.1 does.

Any help is appreciated.
