[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#477656: sysvinit: provide a USB console example in /etc/inittab

[Samuel Thibault]

Package: sysvinit
Version: 2.86.ds1-55
Severity: wishlist

Hello,

With now-widespread USB stuff, maybe it'd be useful to add an example in
/etc/inittab for USB consoles, something like:

# Example how to put a getty on a USB serial line
#U0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyUSB0 9600 vt100
