Right, I was struggling to find the right inittab entry for a "normal" 
console
login and had used /bin/login which seems to demand a non-root login. 
Once
I tried this it let me in as root without a password...

tty1::respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1

It would have saved me a lot of time if this entry was in /etc/inittab, 
even if
it was commented out.
