Control: tags -1 + patch Hello again,
Trivial patch attached for below suggestion for your convenience. (Making it convenient to test will have to be implemented in a higher level tool that enables the provided example.)

Regards, Andreas Henriksson PS. inittab uses undocumented legacy syntax for getty in other/preexisting places in inittab and should be updated to use documented syntax (because who knows when the undocumented syntax stops working). Someone<tm> should file this as a separate issue.....

Unfortunately the shipped inittab doesn't work out of the box inside systemd-nspawn as there's only /dev/console available. Users will thus need to add a getty on /dev/console and to avoid annoying messages about the other gettys constantly respawning they will also need to disable gettys on /dev/tty1 etc. (Since those device nodes doesn't exist. Apparently systemd-nspawn tries to give limited access to the actual physical system by default.)
