This was pulled from the mgetty man file:

       /var/log/mgetty.log.ttyxx
              Debug log file, see below.




DIAGNOSTICS
       If mgetty doesn't work the way it should, the main source of diagnostic
       data  is  the log file.  It can be found in "/var/log/mgetty.log.ttyxx"
       (for the mgetty process  handling  "ttyxx").   If  it  doesn't  contain
       enough  details,  enhance the log level with the '-x' option to mgetty,
       e.g. "-x 5".

       Many of the common problems and solutions are discussed in  the  mgetty
       manual  and  the  FAQ.   Please  see the WWW page at http://alpha.gree-
       nie.net/mgetty/ for both.
