``...For the time being, just remember: The tty setup is now in
/etc/event.d, and each tty has its own separate file. If you're inserting an
autologin script, you'll need to tamper with that file accordingly. All
right, all right, I'll just tell you what to put in there.

Assuming you've compiled the autologin executable and put it into your
/usr/local/sbin/ folder, this is what should go into your /etc/event.d/tty1
file.

# tty1 - getty
#
# This service maintains a getty on tty1 from the point the system is
# started until it is shut down again.

start on runlevel-2
start on runlevel-3
start on runlevel-4
start on runlevel-5

stop on shutdown

respawn /sbin/getty -n -l /usr/local/sbin/autologin 38400 tty1''


Do you still have the tty entries in /etc/event.d

[I haven't got/used it, just making a guess based on a quick google.]
