Re: [Xen-users] No login prompt

[Czerwinski <czerwinski@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Robbie,

thanks for the tip - i put /bin/bash instead of getty in my inittab and  
came directly (w/o login) to the prompt. All commands ok, but:
ps shows just '?' in the TTY-column. Calling getty 9600 /dev/tty1 results  
- as before - in a hang in my current shell.
In other words: has anybody got an idea how to convince debian that the  
shell I am in is /dev/tty1?
Thanks!

Cz.
