hi,
when i create my image with

touch deb.img
dd if=/dev/zero of=deb.img bs=1M count=300
mke2fs deb.img
mount deb.img /mnt -o loop
debootstrap --arch i386 etch /mnt
copy in /etc/fstab file


and then start lguest 64 vmlinux --block=deb.img root=/dev/vda

it boots nice, but then when the shell should appear, it shows nothing. 
In lguest.txt stands "make sure that you install a getty on /dev/hvc0 if
you want to log in on the console!"

I mounted my deb.img and wrote into /etc/inittab the following line

7:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 hvc0

But no if i boot into it, the only thing that changed is, that i can
press Enter button and theres a newline in console, but no console
welcome screen or anything, it simply stops displaying after
"Starting periodic command scheduler:crond" line ?

What do i wrong to get the console?
