    <para>The following command adds the standard virtual terminals to

</literal>
EOF</userinput></screen>

    <para>If your system has a serial console, run the following command to add
    the entry to <filename>/tools/etc/inittab</filename>.</para>

<screen><userinput>cat &gt;&gt; /tools/etc/inittab &lt;&lt; "EOF"
<literal>c0:12345:respawn:/tools/sbin/agetty --noclear 115200 ttyS0 vt100
</literal>
EOF</userinput></screen>

   <para>Finally, add the end line to <filename>/tools/etc/inittab</filename>.</para>

<screen><userinput>cat &gt;&gt; /tools/etc/inittab &lt;&lt; "EOF"
<literal># End /tools/etc/inittab</literal>
EOF</userinput></screen>

    <para>The <parameter>-I '\033(K'</parameter> option tells
    <command>agetty</command> to send this escape sequence to the terminal
    before doing anything else. This escape sequence switches the console
    character set to a user-defined one, which can be modified by running
    the <command>setfont</command> program. Sending this
    escape sequence is necessary for people who use non-ISO 8859-1 screen
    fonts, but it does not affect native English speakers.</para>
