[Buildroot] Switching to /dev/ttyX

[Charles Krinke <charles.krinke@gmail.com>]

What I am currently doing is commenting out the three tty's, tty1, tth2 &
tty3 and then uncommenting ttyS0 in /etc/inittab on the mounted root
filesystem.

I would appreciate some discussion from someone who is familiar with the
location of /etc/inittab in buildroot's build so we could modify it before
the rootfs is created.
