+# Automatically start a configured serial console
+#
+# How this works:
+#
+# On boot, a udev helper examines /dev/console. If a serial console is the
+# primary console (last console on the commandline in grub), the event
+# 'fedora.serial-console-available <port name> <speed>' is emitted, which
+# triggers this script. It waits for the runlevel to finish, ensures
+# the proper port is in /etc/securetty, and starts the getty.
+#
+# If your serial console is not the primary console, or you want a getty
+# on serial even if it's not the console, create your own event by copying
+# /etc/init/tty.conf, and changing the getty line in that file.
