Still using devfs names, I see.

I'm confused: what exactly are you trying to do? (You're using init without
an inittab, or...?)
The general debain installer people might like svn 14606, which makes it so
busybox 1.1.1 doesn't need to have the tty nodes created at the time the
inittab is read, but instead checks when it tries to spawn the process on
that tty...

Dunno if that's relevant to this problem...
