Bug#495928: debian-installer: does not add line to /etc/inittab to enable logins via virtual console

[Folkert van Heusden <folkert@vanheusden.com>]

Package: debian-installer
Version: debian stable: 4.0r4a
Severity: normal


Situation:
- IBM p52a
- LPAR with diskspace served via VIOS 1.5 (an LV, not a physical disk)
- virtual console accessed via HMC

The debian-installer does not add the following line to /etc/inittab:
co:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty hvc0 38400
Without it, one cannot login via the virtual console.
