You run busybox older than 1.3.0, The message is coming from here:

                /* Now run it.  The new program will take over this PID,
                 * so nothing further in init.c should be run. */
                execv(cmdpath, cmd);

                /* We're still here?  Some error happened. */
                message(LOG | CONSOLE, "Bummer, could not run '%s': %m", cmdpath);
                _exit(-1);
        }

Obviously, /etc/init.d/rcS does not exist at that moment.
