Hi there.

Does anybody know what to do to be able to log in via tty1 on Minix ST 1.5.10?
There is a program named getty, but it is not started from /etc/rc, and
if I start it manually, it exits after a logout on tty1 without being respawned.
Of Course; who should respawn it? Also I think that the console login is not
done by getty. And, BTW, does it matter if getty tty1 is run if there is no
tty1 available at the time?
