[BusyBox] Re: can't access tty; job control turned off

[Sebastien Raimbault]

Hi,

I've had this problem, and it has been fixed when including devpts 
pseudo filesystem in the kernel:

CONFIG_DEVPTS_FS_XATTR=y

and mounting it in /dev/pts:

mount -n -t devpts none /dev/pts


I cannot tell why, but it fixed it in my case.

SeB.
