It is maintained separately.  Read the man page.  We're talking about
the problem that changes to the defaults for initial state can be
specified in either /etc/rc.serial or in /etc/gettytab, and it must be
specified in /etc/gettytab because getty doesn't trust the defaults and
it may want to autobaud, and setting it in /etc/rc.serial might fix the
original problem.
