Ok, lets see... I do have my 1st (the serial) terminal set early in the
inittab:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Default runlevel. The runlevels used by RHS are:
# 0 - halt (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
# 1 - Single user mode
# 2 - Multiuser, without NFS (The same as 3, if you do not have networking)
# 3 - Full multiuser mode
# 4 - unused
# 5 - X11
# 6 - reboot (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
#

# timeout to disconnect if idle...
TIMEOUT=60
# wait for a carraige return before trying to display the /etc/issue
WAITFOR=\r

Hope this helps
