[iPAQ] Re: [Familiar] stowaway coexisiting with QPE/Qtopia? (again..)

Hmm, the suggestion doesn't work for me, apparently,

Here's the tail end of my inittab:

T0:5:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttySA0 115200 vt100
pd:23:respawn:/usr/sbin/pppd /dev/ttySA0 -detach

The params are the defaults (i.e. no /boot/params, so the console
is still there).

Here's the stowaway script:

#!/bin/sh
telinit 4
modprobe h3600_stowaway
cat /dev/stowaway &

and here's the result:

sh-2.03# cat: /dev/stowaway: Device or resource busy

So the console is still grabbing the serial port presumably.
There are no gettys or pppd running....
What are you running (Familiar v0.5?)
