Dear All,
Thank you for your helpful suggestions. I checked the /etc/inittab file
and the terminal configuration line (see below) was commented out.
T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 115200 linux
I wasn't sure about the fsck boot up message. The exit status 1
supposebly means that all errors have been fixed. Although the fact that
it says "fsck died with exit status 1" sounds alarming. I think the
reason it keeps performing the fsck check is that I am unable to
shutdown the system cleanly whenever I boot it up and therefore the usb
disk is never cleanly unmounted. But it could very well be that there
are more serious problems.
I will try another fresh install.
Many thanks,
Stewart

It looks to me as if the installation wasn't completed fully since a)
your root device was not unmounted properly and b) the installer
modifies /etc/inittab towards the end. I suggest you do another
installation and make sure you complete everything.
