Hi,
I am working with busybox-1.00-pre10 on an ARM board.
I don't want a login after boot up, just the shell prompt. I
went through the usage for getty and noticed that it had a
'-n' switch, which when given would not prompt the user
for a login.
However, the login prompt appears with this switch enabled.
I did also notice that earlier versions of busybox that I worked
with (0.60.5) did not have getty and was picked up from
tinylogin. These versions did not have the -n switch. Has
anyone found the -n switch to getty working fine in
busybox-1.00-pre10?
I start getty in my inittab file as follows:
null::respawn:/sbin/getty -n -L ttySA0 115200 vt100
how do Iget to the shell prompt directly?
any help would be great :-)
regards,
kanagesh
