From the docs:
              Run repeatedly actions:

                                'respawn' actions are run after the 'once' actions.  When a process
                                started with a 'respawn' action exits, init automatically restarts
                                it.  Unlike sysvinit, BusyBox init does not stop processes from
                                respawning out of control.  The 'askfirst' actions acts just like
                                respawn, except that before running the specified process it
                                displays the line "Please press Enter to activate this console."
                                and then waits for the user to press enter before starting the
                                specified process.
So changing askfirst to respawn will do it.
Ciao,
Tito
