If you really do need the crontab functionality you need to recompile
busybox to contain that functionality - I'm very surprized that someone
built busybox with crond but without crontab.
However as far as i know, you can do without it and still get crond to
work.
you need crond running - as root just type
crond
it will start. To find out what the command line options are
crond --help
You can edit crontab entries using the vi editor, as long as you know
which file to edit! So you don't actually need the crontab command.
edit /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root using vi and setup your cron entries.
You may have to send crond a HUP signal to make it re-read any new/edited
crontab file(s).
