I have done as you have instructed.
Set up /etc/ttyv with
ttyv1 "/usr/libexec/getty Al" cons25 on secure
and
in /etc/gettytab
A|Al|Autologin console:\
:ht:np:sp#115200:al=3Dolivares
as my username is olivares. It is working on BETA 2 :) Now I hope to
get it working again at home on an 8.2 amd machine.
I will report back but return different machine and different
information, hope only with a success report :) It was working
before, and now it is not :(
Regards,
Antonio
