WARNING: This field has a non-traditional
meaning for BusyBox init! The id field is used
by BusyBox init to specify the controlling tty
for the specified process to run on. The
contents of this field are appended to "/dev/"
and used as-is. There is no need for this field
to be unique, although if it isn't you may have
strange results. If this field is left blank,
it is completely ignored. Also note that if
BusyBox detects that a serial console is in use,
then all entries containing non-empty id fields
will _not_ be run. BusyBox init does nothing
with utmp. We don't need no stinkin' utmp.
