You mean you see

 # ifconfig
 BusyBox v0.60.5 (2002.10.31-09:36+0000) multi-call binary

 Usage: busybox [function] [arguments]...
    or: [function] [arguments]...

         BusyBox is a multi-call binary...

 Currently defined functions:
         ..., ifconfig, ...

?  What debian-installer image are you using?  What version of
BusyBox are you using (you can find out with

 sed -n '/^Package: busybox/,/^$/p' /var/lib/dpkg/status

(well, if sed works))?
