If it anything besides the VC's the error message would be different.
Instead of INIT: Id "1" it would be INIT: Id "S1" or something on that
order. Initd does not let you have two entries with the same label.
I just wish I had an idea on why mingetty would be erroring out! The
system just sitting there is probably because there is not console to
log into. The system might be accessable to network connections.
A loot at /etc/inittab may be helpfull... If there is nothing wrong
there, then I would suspect a bad library.
