Look into your /etc/inittab, it should contain examples on how to put
getty on a direct serial line. I myself use mgetty for this (to have
flexibility to use this connection for both direct login frm the dumb
terminal and ppp connection. Tne line I put into /etc/inittab:
s1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -r -D ttyS1
/etc/mgetty/mgetty.config contains (in addition to other stuff) the
following:
port ttyS1
direct y
speed 19200
toggle-dtr n
and the last line in /etc/mgetty/login.config used in case of dumb
terminal:
* - - /bin/login @
