Well, I do have /dev/ttyS0 device file.
dd read test for serial in /etc/init.d/ttyusb0 does not fail
Nokia-N800-10:~# /etc/init.d/ttyusb0 start
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
so the scripts uncomments line
#T0:12345:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 115200 vt100
and I see
Nokia-N800-10:~# ps -ef | grep getty
  1550 root        460 S   /sbin/getty -L ttyS0 115200 vt100

Workaround is to comment inittab line with two #'s.

How is this supposed to work in theory?
