What exactly is the problem? What do you mean by everything is correct?

Again, what is the problem. What is your expected result and what is
your actual result?

It seems like your trying to get a console on the serial line. You need
to:
*make sure you have support for console on serial line in the
kernel
*create /dev/ttyS0
*add something like:
ttyS0::askfirst:/bin/sh
to your /etc/inittab. (Look in the mailing list archives. I had
this problem a little while ago and a working inittab was posted
then.)
*look at ./docs/BusyBox.html
hth,
