- In my inittab file I have used ttys1 and ttys2 (they are both working)
- with both my terminals. I also use type dumb (as in the samples provided)
- because I haven't got the termcaps file yet. I am using /etc/getty 19200 ttys1
- for one and /etc/getty 9600 ttys2 on the other (I plan to change ttys2 to 19200
- as well). I don't know if the problem is that you are using ttys0 or not. On
- my machine it seems to be ttys1 and ttys2.
-
- You may want to see if you have to rename your old inittab file after
- editing and creating a new one. It took me 10 minutes to realize the system
- didn't like the changes.
