i just got something kind of like that to work. install the rungetty
package, and then open up /etc/inittab. change the line that says:
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1
to
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/rungetty -u username --autologin username tty1 -- bash -i
where you obviously replace username with the appropriate user.
