No, I can make the call to getty (it has to be getty from src:hurd not aget=
ty
from src:util-linux, right?) specific to Hurd. The "magic switch" comment w=
as
because debvm configures auto-login by default on Linux. The -a switch was
missing until you implemented it. Hurd does not need to support all the opi=
tons
which you see in the agetty command above. Adding a Hurd-specific getty lin=
e to
/etc/inittab is not an issue. It was even a possibility to declare "Hurd do=
es
not support auto-login" but since you implemented -a that is moot I guess. =
:)

If I look at my current /etc/inittab it tells me:

# Example how to put a getty on a serial line (for a terminal)
#
#T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 9600 vt100
#T1:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS1 9600 vt100

I don't have /dev/ttyS0 and my /proc/cmdline says console=3Dcom0 and that o=
ne
also seems to exist:

root@testvm:~# ls -l /dev/com0
crw------- 1 root root 0, 0 Jun 28 19:18 /dev/com0

So I should probably have this in my /etc/inittab, right?

T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L com0 9600 vt100

But then I still get "getty[656]: Bad syntax". What getty invocation is kno=
wn
to work for a serial getty in a qemu guest?

Thanks!

cheers, josch
