[BusyBox] Need tech info on cron

I have a busybox based distribution on one floppy, everything working correctly.

I encounter a problem using cron.

The files used are:
cat /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root
12 * * * * /usr/bin/relais_ON
13 * * * * /usr/bin/relais_OFF

cat /etc/password
root:x:0:0:root:/:/bin/sh

cat /etc/group
root:x:0:

crond is run from the init script rcS. But nothing happens. I get no result.

When used with the debug option, it gives a syntax error:
i.e.: crond -d 1 -L /var/log/cron.log

Instead, it seems to work with the command: crond d 1 -L /var/log/cron.log but
there is no result and it produces no output.
