[BusyBox] serial console problem

[Torrey Hoffman]

I'm running busybox 0.60.2, trying to set up a system with serial
console.  LILO and the kernel are both working fine on /dev/ttyS0,
but after busybox init starts, it just prints:

serial console detected. Disabling virtual terminals.
init started: BusyBox v.0.60.2 (2002.01.09-05:21+0000) multi-call binary
No more tasks for init -- sleeping forever.


My inittab looks like:

ttyS0::sysinit:/sbin/rcS
ttyS0::respawn:/bin/sh -i

ttyS0::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/reboot
ttyS0::ctrlaltdel:/bin/umount -a
ttyS0::ctrlaltdel:/bin/sync
ttyS0::ctrlaltdel:/bin/killall -w

Why doesn't this work?
