Unfortunately, neither of these changes seemed to influence much. However,
what was different is that I'd previously specified my getty line as:
co:123:respawn:/sbin/getty console console
Changing it to:
co:123:respawn:/sbin/getty ttyS0 console
didn't do much to help my "CR/NL" problem as shown below. In playing with
it though, I did change ttyS0 to ttyS1 (the other serial port). This DID
fix the below "CR/NL" problem as desired; however, now the console login
prompt shows up on the wrong port.
What finally DID work was to move the 'co' inittab entry to the bottom,
AFTER all the 'l#' entries.
Thanks for the tip which got me going in the direction I needed!
