Oops..  My mistake..  I copied and pasted the wrong line..  This is actually 
what I have in my inittab:
a0:2345:once:/sbin/agetty /dev/ttyS1 -t 60 115200
a1:2345:once:/sbin/agetty /dev/ttyUSB0 -t 60 115200

That part works just fine..  I can log in no problem..

I understand that getting the kernel messages via a USB console isn't reliable. 
  But I can't get the system/rc/initscripts startup stuff via ttyUSB0 either. 
Or is this just as unreliable..  The only way I get system/rc/initscripts 
startup stuff via ttyUSB0 is if I set 'CONSOLE=/dev/ttyUSB0' on my kernel 
command line..  And in that case the baud rate gets changed from 115200 to 
9600..  i.e.  The issue I'm trying to solve now, is with these messages via ttyUSB0:
