Hey, Tim, the other Dorio-user out here...
Did you try
S1:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 9600 ttyS1 vt100
^^ ^^^^ ^^^^^
| | +-- this is COM2 -- rememeber, serials
| | start at ttyS0, S1, S2, etc.
| |
| +-- which run-levels to start getty at -- I've never seen a getty run
| at level 1, so start with 2
|
+-- this is just the label -- it can be anything, but I usually use the same
as the serial port number
That's what I use, anyway. Let me know if this does the trick. Also, make
sure /sbin/agetty exists--I seem to remember I had to build it myself on
one of my machines--can't remember which one.
Also, it's possible agetty logs to /var/log/messages... You could look
to see if it's complaining.
Oh, and another thing... You can run "/sbin/agetty 9600 ttyS1 9600" from
a prompt (as opposed to running from init) to troubleshoot. Once you get
it working, *then* put it in inittab.
Hope it works
