[Buildroot] link to busybox

[Christian SCHWARZ]

The respawn problem typically is not related to a specific shell, but 
either to a misconfiguration of the /etc files (especially rc.S) or, 
more probable, missing /dev/tty??
You might want to check those messages.
In my case, I had to add several special devices by hand, not added by 
buildroot (and I also replaced all the files in /etc with a single rc.S 
one, which resolved several other problems). The platform is an ARMv6 board.

cheers,
Christian
