[ale] Error Message

[Joe Knapka]

These are the entries that start the getty sessions on
your virtual terminals Alt-f1 thru Alt-f6.

The "respawning too fast" messages happen when the
getty commands can't execute properly for some reason.
agetty fails immediately, init restarts it. If that
happens more than X times per second, you get the
"too fast" messages.

Perhaps agetty is not properly installed on your
system?

In any formula, constants (especially those obtained from handbooks)
