I probably did not express myself properly. I do soo login (which is started
by getty). The only problem is that whatever I do in "login" I get kicked
out -

buildroot login: root
Password: *[just enter]*
Login incorrect

The sad thing is that I do remember that once it did work and I would get by
just typing the username.
