          I'm surprised, initab file is standard linux file and present on all systems. Would you mind tell me what distrib you installed on your Pi ?
          are you under user root ?

            @Charles Note that the latest version of Raspbian is based on Debian Jessie, which now uses Systemd, no longer SysVinit. So /etc/inittab doesn't exist anymore.

              oh, thanks for the information, I used some Jessie on other boxes but did not noticed they have no inittab (because I don't have to use it).
              Nice to know, for sure this will avoid me searching next time 😉

                Then what should I do if the /etc/inittab doesn't exist any more? As I still want to disable Serial login through that file.... Any other file should I edit on instead?
