That's exactly what you can do.  There are some things to keep in mind 
if you launch your app from inittab (e.g. init will execute it again 
each time it exits), but people are doing it successfully.

You can add a line to the Makefile of your user app, under the romfs: 
target, something like this:

romfs:
       $(ROMFSINST) /bin/myapp
       $(ROMFSINST) -a "myapp::/bin/myapp" /etc/inittab

This will add the inittab line automatically during the "make romfs" phase.

Also disable building agetty (in menuconfig -> vendor/user settings -> 
Core Applications).

Regards,

John
