i'm using getty, rather than mgetty (getty_ps rpm)
the line's I have are:

S1:23:respawn:/sbin/getty ttyS0 DT19200 vt220
S2:23:respawn:/sbin/getty ttyS1 DT19200 vt220


for my 2 terminals. works great. also, note the lilo.conf options for
making the serial console come live at the LILO: prompt. that makes like
just plain wonderfull. :)
