Either the getty program is not on the boot disk, or one of the
libraries it needs.
Use `ldd /sbin/getty' to find out which libraries. (On my system, it
only needs libc, which should be on the floppy already.)
Also check that /dev/tty1 and /dev/tty2 exist on the floppy image.
If you still can't find anything, try changing the inittab line to
execute sh.
