I am getting the same error while attempting to install Xubuntu 6.10 on a Sony Viao (PCG-SR33K).

Do you suppose the BusyBox FAQ regarding this error is relevant?
http://www.busybox.net/FAQ.html#job_control

According to this, it would seem that the installer is loading the BusyBox shell on /device/console rather than tty1 or ttyS0. The resolution either requires that the installer select tty1 or ttyS0 as an alternative, or noctty be set to 0 in drivers/char/tty_io.c.
