rootfile system porting for FPGA [/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off]

[pcuser.mails@gmail.com (pcuser p)]

Thanks all for ur replies.
I gave a try to create a new rootfile system (ext2) by following the
procedure in free-electrons.com and examples in the busybox folder.
Surprisingly, it got built properly and run upto the same point and doesn't
accept any commands i'm typing.
I haven't added serial related stuff (gettty) in the inittab/rcS file as I
am still not much clear about it.


*My board setup is :*
I am using JTAG debugger to load the kernel and root file system (DRAM
controller initilization is done through JTAG) & then kernel and rootfs are
loaded.
I am getting the "printk" messages in terminal program (tera-term running
in PC)

Since,I am not using bootloader ,I enable console prints in the call to
cosole_init in start_kernel (by adding the flags CONSOLE_PRINTBUFFER |
CON_ENABLED in the struct console)
Once call to console_init happens,I am starting to get print messages.

*My query is:*
At later point after file system mounted, is this same console used for
login? (i'm having only one UART port in my board -> ttySAC0)
Am I getting this err (/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off)
because console is locked already for printk's?
*What changes are needed in the inittab & /etc/init.d/rcS file to get the
working shell prompt* *for this scenario*?

*below are the console messages:*
RAMDISK: ext2 filesystem found at block 0
RAMDISK: Loading 3072KiB [1 disk] into ram disk... \
done.
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly on device 1:0.
Freeing init memory: 80K
*/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off*
/ #


* /etc/inittab file contents*
# This is run first script
::sysinit:/etc/init.d/rcS
# Start an "askfirst" shell on the console
::askfirst:?/bin/sh
# Stuff to do when restarting the init process
::restart:/sbin/init
# Stuff to do before rebooting
::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/reboot
::shutdown:/bin/umount ?a ?r

*/etc/init.d/rcS file contents *
#!/bin/sh
mount ?t proc none /proc
mount ?t sysfs none /sys
exec /sbin/sh
/bin/sh


plz suggest me the changes required to get working shell prompt..

Thanks,
