Description Tyler Hardison 2004-08-05 15:11:08 UTC 
inittab no doubt doesn't contain the line:
T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 9600 vt100

Which would be fine to make a default regardless of which console a user chooses during boot on the alpha.

This is on the Live CD for 1.4rc1 on Alpha.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot dka400 -fl 1
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
Shortly after running dhcpcd getty doesn't start on ttyS0

Expected Results:  
inittab should have started getty on ttyS0 as well as starting others.

This is supposed to be fixed with newer livecds - could you please try the latest livecd from experimental?
