I am getting the same error message when I ran the android x86 eeepc in vmware. init: Unable to open persistent property directory /data/property errno: 2 sh: can't access tty: job control turned off # I/installer( 1975): Waiting for device: /dev/block/sdb2
# I'm getting a shell prompt. I cannot find an editor to modify init.rc on the shell. How should I edit the file? Ultimately, I'd like to start a GUI. If everything works fine, does the android x86 eeepc (built following the howto posted in the discussion group) start a GUI?
