Init does not read the file /etc/inittab but the file in /etc/init.
This is the ubuntu man page of inittab.


Code:
inittab(5)                                                          inittab(5)

NAME
       inittab - init daemon configuration

SYNOPSIS
       /etc/inittab

DESCRIPTION
       The  /etc/inittab  file was the configuration file used by the original
       System V init(8) daemon.

       The Upstart init(8) daemon does not use this file,  and  instead  reads
       its  configuration  from  files  in  /etc/init.   See  init(5) for more
       details.

SEE ALSO
       init(8) init(5)

Upstart                           2009-07-09                        inittab(5)

Can I use getty directly form the shell? Must I use it in inittab?

Thanks again for any answer!

dc

dc(4)							     Kernel Interfaces Manual							     dc(4)

Name
       dc - serial line/mouse/keyboard

Syntax
       device	 dc0  at ibus?	vector dcintr

Description
       The  serial line controller provides four ports, with modem control on two of the ports.  The DECstation 3100 and DECstation 2100 only pro-
       vide partial modem control.  The DECstation 5000 provides full modem control. The ports are used as follows:

       Port	 Usage
       0	 Graphics device keyboard at 4800 BPS
       1	 Mouse or tablet at 4800 BPS
       2	 Communications port 1 (w/modem control)/local terminal
       3	 Communications port 2 (w/modem control)/local terminal

       Each communication port from the serial line controller behaves as described in and can be set to run at any of 16 speeds.  For the  encod-
       ing, see

       When  a	graphics device is not being used as the system console, communications port 2 becomes the system console.  In this configuration,
       the port can only be used at 9600 BPS and no modem control is supported.

       The serial line driver operates in interrupt-per-character mode (all pending characters are flushed from the silo on each interrupt).

Restrictions
       Speed must be set to 9600 BPS on the console port and 4800 BPS on ports used by graphics devices.  The serial  line  driver  enforces  this
       restriction; that is, changing speeds with the command may not always work on these ports.

Files
       console terminal

       local terminal

       local terminal
