[BusyBox] Start up problems

I'm trying to bring up Busybox on an Intel PXA255 based board running
Linux-2.6.12-rc4.  I've compiled everything with gcc-3.3.4 using
glibc-2.3.2.  I booting Linux with u-boot, built from a recent cvs pull.  If
I start Busybox as /bin/sh I get no output.  If I start Busybox as either
/linuxrc or /sbin/init with no inittab of an inittab with just an
::askfirst:-/bin/sh entry I get 'Please press Enter to activate this
console.' and when I press enter it repeats the output.

I've obviously missed something in busybox's configuration, any help or
pointers would be greatly appreciated.  I've looked in the archives and the
only other times this has been mentioned there was no response in the
archive, so if anyone responds, please respond to the list to help others in
the future.

Thanks in advance,

Greg Wilson-Lindberg
