Hi all,

I've been reading up on the new init-system (read the howto and the
discussions on the mailinglists) and think I finally understand it, except for
1 thing in the howto. That is, I'm not really sure so just to be on the safe
side I'd better ask here first:

Open /etc/inittab in a text editor and change the device paths used by
agetty to use the /dev file system instead of /devices

The relevant part of my /etc/inittab now looks like this:

vc1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty /devices/vc/1 9600
vc2:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty /devices/vc/2 9600
vc3:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty /devices/vc/3 9600
vc4:234:respawn:/sbin/agetty /devices/vc/4 9600
vc5:234:respawn:/sbin/agetty /devices/vc/5 9600
vc6:234:respawn:/sbin/agetty /devices/vc/6 9600

I read 'man 5 inittab' and guess it should be changed to:

vc1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty /dev/tty1 9600
vc2:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty /dev/tty2 9600
vc3:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty /dev/tty3 9600
vc4:234:respawn:/sbin/agetty /dev/tty4 9600
vc5:234:respawn:/sbin/agetty /dev/tty5 9600
vc6:234:respawn:/sbin/agetty /dev/tty6 9600

Is this correct?

Thanks

Bas
