the only thing that might need checking is why init didnt back off on the 
respawn.  sysvinit will wait 5 minutes if it hits ~10 failures in a 2 minute 
period.  or maybe it does and your log didnt show init going to sleep.

at any rate, going by your described setup, busybox' init sounds like it's 
operating just fine.  you gave it an invalid console and so the shell failed 
to run.  i dont want init randomly guessing at a "good" tty and hooking up 
shells to it unless i told it to.  in other words, if you want a shell on tty0 
and not just your default console, then fix your inittab to do that.
