yaft as a getty replacement

[Happy-Ferret]

Is there a way to use yaft as a getty replacement?
Replacing "/sbin/getty" with "/usr/bin/yaft" inside /etc/inittab doesn't seem to work and "openvt yaft" ends up making the newly spawned vt unusable.

I'd like to play a video or display a small gif during the initial startup of my Debian system and then, once it's finished, switch to another tty.

yaft is not getty replacement.
please try other programs, like fbgetty (show image on login prompt) or fbsplash (show image on boot).
