I tried it like this:

----------8<----------
#!/bin/sh

mount -t tmpfs none /dev -o mode=755

mknod /dev/console c 5 1
chmod 600 /dev/console
mknod /dev/null c 1 3
chmod 666 /dev/null

exec /bin/busybox init $@ 1> /dev/console 2> /dev/console < /dev/console
----------8<----------

but still get:

VFS: Mounted root (nfs filesystem).
Freeing init memory: 88K
Warning: unable to open an initial console.
init started:  BusyBox v1.1.3 (2007.03.11-10:31+0000) multi-call binary

Does anybody have an idea how to get rid of the warning?
