Did you build /sbin/getty? I know it was not in the the titanII image.
I just built the rpm, which is now at:
ftp.nw.carleton.ca
/pub/winder/RedHat/titanIII/RPMS/getty_ps-2.0.7j-5.src.rpm
I make no statements as to whether or not it will work for you. I just
built the one from rawhide, haven't tested it.
NOTE: Being the person who build the titanII image, I make no statements
about it's stability. (It is a bit outdated.) As well I don't
know how well it will work on other arm architectures. I only
have NetWinders (armv4l, StrongARM) to play with.
If you are going to use it, I'd strongly recomend upgrading to the
packages in the titanIII directory, which you use. (upgrade
filesystem, which now has correct permissions. dev still has
the wrong permissions)
I'm busy with school work for the next week, week and a half so won't be
doing much till after that. But on the plus side, I have the week of the
21st off, so hope to be able to put together a new image with a 2.2.1
kernel, a X that works, and glibc 2.1.
Enjoy,
