Check whether the default busybox enables a more complex console, something like bash or ash - if not configure it to use it. A better console is definately available, you'll probably want to create a symlink in your filing system to the busy box application and then change your configuration so that it becomes the default console. I've done this because the default sh console is really annoying with the cursor keys!
