Here's what I've got to the same point in the file.  You must have  
truncated that line of text, otherwise, this is what it needs to say:

#       @(#)ttys        5.2 (Berkeley) 6/10/93
#
# name  getty                           type    status          comments
#
# If the console is marked insecure, single-user requires
# the root password.
##
# Since DirectoryServices is not running by the time we enter
# single-user mode, init will ask for the non-shadow crypt
# password stored for root in /etc/master.passwd.  If no such
# password exists, it will not be possible to enter single-user
# mode from a console marked insecure.
##
#console        "/usr/libexec/getty std.57600"  vt100   on secure
console  
"/System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/MacOS/ 
loginwindow" vt100 on secure onoption="/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"
#tahoe's only

The line starting with console "/System... all the way to std.9600" is  
on the same line, fyi.
