Yeah, yours does a few more things, and does so somewhat less
efficiently.

Not needed.

Unclear what this is needed for. Normally init starts on the console
anyway, and if it doesn't, why would you want to force it to use the
console instead of whatever stdin/out/err it started with?

Why are you ignoring signals rather than blocking them? It's more work
and harder to undo before running the rc script (and you don't seem to
be undoing it).

What does this do?

Instead use:
for (;;) wait(&status);
and you don't have to handle SIGCHLD.
