 chmod /dev/console to 0600 (you never know).

 Make sure the /dev you are checking actually IS the /dev you have
at boot time.

 Check your kernel configuration. Make sure your kernel actually
*can* open an initial console. Do you have proper virtual terminal
and keyboard support in your kernel ? Check that there is no
"console=foobar" option in your kernel command line.
 Are you using devtmpfs and mounting it at boot time, or are you
running a static /dev, or anything else ?

 In any case, it's very probably a Linux issue, not a busybox issue.
