 Thanks, that helped a bit. I'm using 

 1:23:respawn:/sbin/getty ttyS0 DT9600 vt220

 since I could not find any agetty (to use the -L option) in RH5.
 So, now the system boots like a real Linux machine, and I *finally* get
 a login prompt (Raw Hide 1.2.7). It says ``localhost login :''.
 Strange enough, when I type anything, the word 'login' appears on the
 next line, and then after a few secs, the login banner resets the screen.
 Also, backspace isn't working. It appears that I can walk through the
 screen. This seems just a simple terminal setting problem. But I don't
 see what's wrong. (BTW, I already added ``ttyS0'' to /etc/securetty).
