Are you sure that you are booting straight into the *real* root file system and not going though initrd? Because if you are going through initrd, the kernel will run /linuxrc regardless of init settings (and rightfully so - it's not init).If Busybox is invoked via /linuxrc it will behave as init, I believe. Try passing "noinitrd" as a boot parameter and see what's happens.
