12 I have checked inittab and it looks ok. However, now I noticed that the
13 inittab that's in the iso differs from the one when the iso is running.
14 On the running system a line has been added for the root console, and
15 tty1-tty2 logins are disabled, just as expected. It seems this is done
16 sometime during boot, but I'm not sure when. I've checked the initrd,
17 but nothing there seems to be responsible. Any clues?
