This is a standard linux question and is discussed on many linux newsgroups.

Look into the appropriate manpages (e.g. man getty, man login)

The straightforward way is to write a little shell script (called mylogin in this case)

#!/bin/sh
exec login -f root

Edit the /etc/inittab to look like the following:

#                                                                                                         
# /etc/inittab                                                                                            
#

#
