Hi,

I don't understand what I need to do. This doesn't work:

   =E2=80=A2 rocketmouse@archlinux ~=20
   $ diff /mnt/m1.alpine/etc/inittab /mnt/m1.alpine/etc/inittab_no_console=
=20
   8c8
   < tty1::respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 console
   ---
   > tty1::respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1

An Internet search returned:

   # /etc/inittab
  =20
   ::sysinit:/etc/rc.d/startup
  =20
   tty1::respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1
   tty2::respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2
   tty3::respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty3
   tty4::respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty4
   tty5::respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty5
   tty6::respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty6
  =20
   # Put a getty on the serial line (for a terminal).  Uncomment this line =
if
   # you're using a serial console on ttyS0, or uncomment and adjust it if =
using a
   # serial console on a different serial port.
   #::respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 115200 vt100
  =20
   ::shutdown:/etc/rc.d/shutdown
   ::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/reboot

Oops, I missed that Alpine's inittab contains a similar line, too, but
uncommenting it doesn't help.

   =E2=80=A2 rocketmouse@archlinux ~=20
   $ diff /mnt/m1.alpine/etc/inittab /mnt/m1.alpine/etc/inittab_no_console=
=20
   16c16
   < ttyS0::respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 115200 vt100
   ---
   > #ttyS0::respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 115200 vt100

So I use the default inittab again and systemd-nspawn still fails.
