Urg.  Like this (clipped from mine without any changes)

# /sbin/getty invocations for the runlevels.

#

# The "id" field MUST be the same as the last

# characters of the device (after "tty").

#

# Format:

#  <id>:<runlevels>:<action>:<process>

#

# Note that on most Debian systems tty7 is used by the X Window System,

# so if you want to add more getty's go ahead but skip tty7 if you run X.

#

1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1

2:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2

3:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty3

4:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty4

5:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty5

6:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty6


# Example how to put a getty on a serial line (for a terminal)

#

#T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 9600 vt100

#T1:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS1 9600 vt100


# Example how to put a getty on a modem line.
