The big problem your having I think is that you aren't listing the terminal 
type on the command line for agetty. You have to do that or the program 
won't know what terminal to emulate. Because your not listing one, it is 
trying to use ttytype to find a mapping. That file is used to map specific 
tty lines to specific terminal types. The solution is to specifically list 
the terminal type. IN this case, the type should be linux and it should go 
right after the tty line specification. So, your line should look like this:

c6:1235:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty6 linux
