Login at /dev/ttyS0

[alexdepa]

Hi all,
I've just install Micro Core on a flash disk and I put it on an Alix board that doesn't have a vga output so, my only way to dialog with it is through serial console. I've enabled console=ttyS0,115200n8 on menu.lst and now I can view the boot process through serial console but, in the end, the system make a root login on tty1. How can I enable root login on ttyS0?

Thanks!

Edit this line in /etc/inittab:

tty1::respawn:/sbin/rungetty tty1 --autologin root

How, that depends on the serial line I guess.

edit: Actually, rungetty doesn't do serial. Looks like you'll need to compile a suitable getty to do that.
edit2: Or see if busybox getty would work.

Ok but how can I edit /dev/inittab once I've installed Micro Core an a hard/flash disk?
