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?

Thanks,
Brian
