Hey cool. It worked.  Thanks Mark.
I replaced the other 1: line with this line below.

But it doesn't have the little line in the console that makes us feel
all warm and fuzzy that the service finished booting correctly:
That is "Welcome to SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 (s390x) - Kernel
2.6.5-7.283-s390x" 

Any idea how I can keep that there?

This entry in /etc/inittab is how I do it in Slack/390:
1:12345:respawn:/bin/bash -i
