The change was not valid, after ANY change in /etc/inittab you need to make
init reread the file for the changes to take effect, use; 'init q' to do
that.
If you do not use 'init q' then the change will only have an effect "AFTER"
the next reboot, which gives the impression that your changes did NOT work.
'man init' will explain.
