By default the vserver scripts don't run `init' (which reads
`/etc/inittab'), but instead start `/etc/init.d/rc' directly,
to load all the daemons sysvinit style.

If you want to use init/inittab then clear out anything to do with
starting getty-logins from the vserver's `inittab' and add the
"fakeinit" option to the `/etc/vservers/foo.conf' file, although you
won't see the scroll as the services start up.
