It's pretty much the same as sysvinit, with a few small differences:
-sysvinit inittab uses the format:
id:runlevel:action:process
Busybox init uses the format:
[tty]:[ignored]:action:process

So to start getty on tty1, use
tty1::respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1

If there's no tty desired, remove the first field.

-Additionally, runlevels aren't supported by Busybox init.
OpenRC provides its own runlevels, with non-numeric names; these are no
longer built on sysvinit runlevels.

-(internal details) Busybox init doesn't use utmp for runlevels, nor does
it use /dev/initctl.
The only way of communicating with it is modifying inittab or signalling;
it knows at least these signals:
HUP    reload inittab
INT    ctrl-alt-del pressed
QUIT    reexec self
USR1    halt
USR2    poweroff
TERM    reboot


HTH,
