>Environment:

	i486 tandard serial ports std.9600

>Description:

	I can get a login prompt on ttyd1 just by changing 'off' to 'on'
in ttys but using the same cable, terminal, etc I cannot get anything
when I do exactly the same on ttyd0.

>How-To-Repeat:

	edit ttys, change "off" to "on" for ttyd0 and ttyd1
connect dumb-terminal or PC emulator to ttyd1 - login: appears almost
immediately, Nothing shows for ttyd0. (init HUP'd of course and ps
shows getty's running). No moused no X running

 Sorry, but you need to provide us more information.  In general, it
 (of course) works, so it must be something special to your
 environment.

The user got around the problem by using mgetty and it would seem 
that the problem was clocal configuration or similar.
