Thanks Eric, So I guess my next question is... how do I edit inittab, if it is in an lrp? I have a chicken-and-egg situation
What I mean is, if I can't even login to the box (since the getty is not enabled) how do I alter inittab. Is there an lrp available that already has the ttyS0 getty enabled? Is it the etc.lrp that needs to be modified?
