Installing Gentoo GNU/Linux 2004.3 on SPARC - Part 6 - Initial Logon
After the reboot we get the logon screen:
This is localhost.(none) (Linux sparc64 2.4.27-sparc) 14:10:22
localhost login: root
Password:
login(pam_unix)[961]: session opened for user root by (uid=0)

Well, the messages are annoying. The problem is that getty (agetty) is having trouble with consoles on serial ports that aren't really live. To fix this we need to modify /etc/inittab. Here is what it looks like:
# SERIAL CONSOLE
c0:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 9600 ttyS0 vt100
# TERMINALS
c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty1 linux
c2:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty2 linux
c3:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty3 linux
c4:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty4 linux
c5:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty5 linux
c6:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty6 linux
# What to do at the "Three Finger Salute".
ca:12345:ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -r now
# Used by /etc/init.d/xdm to control DM startup.
# Read the comments in /etc/init.d/xdm for more
# info. Do NOT remove, as this will start nothing
# extra at boot if /etc/init.d/xdm is not added
# to the "default" runlevel.
x:a:once:/etc/X11/startDM.sh
# End of /etc/inittab

We need to comment out the agetty lines:
# SERIAL CONSOLE
c0:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 9600 ttyS0 vt100
# TERMINALS
#c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty1 linux
#c2:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty2 linux
#c3:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty3 linux
#c4:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty4 linux
#c5:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty5 linux
#c6:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty6 linux
