This is what my init.ash contains.  I'm still getting the "can't access
tty" message.  Do you see anything else wrong?

------------------

##!/bin/ash

echo "Mounting real root file system..."

mount -t sysfs none /sys
mount -t proc none /proc

mount -t ext2 /dev/hdf1 /mnt/realroot

# Chain to real filesystem
echo "Chaining to real file system..."
#exec switch_root /mnt/realroot/sbin/init "$@"
</mnt/realroot/dev/console >$/mnt/realroot/dev/console

exec /bin/ash </dev/tty0 >/dev/tty0 2>&1

------------------

My initramfs config for the tty/console devices is:

nod /dev/tty0 666 0 5 c 4 0
nod /dev/tty1 666 0 5 c 4 1
nod /dev/tty2 666 0 5 c 4 2
nod /dev/tty3 666 0 5 c 4 3
nod /dev/tty4 666 0 5 c 4 4
nod /dev/tty5 666 0 5 c 4 5
nod /dev/tty6 666 0 5 c 4 6
nod /dev/tty7 666 0 5 c 4 7
nod /dev/tty8 666 0 5 c 4 8
nod /dev/ttyS0 666 0 5 c 5 0
nod /dev/console 644 0 0 c 5 1
