There's a problem with init.c (cvs version) and devfs: 

In new_init_action(), init tries to access() the tty devices,
which at the time of execution don't exist yet if devfs is used (devfsd
doesn't run yet, since this function is called from parse_inittab()).
Thus, no getty processes are started. They work fine, however, when 
startet manually from the shell. 

The old behavior (busybox 0.60.3) was just fine.
