I finally got Angstrom installed on the slug.  My solution to the root 
password was to wire up the internal serial port and use the serial 
console to set the root password.  A little drastic but it works.

I hope that we can see the real fix in the releases (since I still 
haven't succeeded in building Angstrom I don't think I can offer to help 
with this fix).
