i'm testing my custom initramfs now, but everytime the log there will have the
"can't access tty; job control turned off".
The /dev in initramfs has four files: null, sda1, ttyS0.
The kernel parameter is 'console=ttyS0'.
Also, i test ctrl+c, it works fine.So how could this problem heppen?
In busybox documentation,

I type tty and it gives me /dev/console instead of /dev/ttyS0.
So, that's all information about this problem, hope some one can help me out:-)
