Done and I see the:
	21920 ?? S    0:00.01 /usr/libexec/getty vt.9600 tty00 
process sitting there but I never get a login prompt.  Now if I do
stty -f /dev/tty00 clocal
While this process is running, I can get the login prompt but once I logout,
I cannot get the login prompt without running stty again..
