My bad - sorry this is what I have -
3:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty3

I still get this error -
NIT: cannot execute "/sbin/getty"
INIT: cannot execute "/sbin/getty"
INIT: cannot execute "/sbin/getty"
INIT: cannot execute "/sbin/getty"
INIT: Id "3" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes

Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.
