Hi,
this is not a direct answer to your question, but you can change the
/etc/inittab file with that line to automatically log root at the VM console

Hello list,
I tried to setup my guest to automatically login root at the VM console.

Hello Bruce,
When searching for an answer it was described with mingetty. But then I
found that that option wasn't available until version 1.0.*. IIRC I did

error I guess.
Anyway, you all gave me some hints to try other
