You'll have to boot from a cd-rom or using other alternative way,
eg, using an installation CD-rom, or some rescue-linux - anything
will do that lets you to mount chroot to your existing system.
Once there, update busybox package and regenerate initramfs images,
by running
update-initramfs -k <yourkernelversion> -u
next umount (or just sync) and reboot.
You may also use previous busybox version (1.18.x, whatever) which may
still be in your /var/cache/apt/archives/ directory.
This is all true if you have only one kernel package installed.
If there are more than one, you may have good chance to have a
working system by booting another kernel, not only the one you
updated at the same time with busybox.
