Just a hint? OK, # man inittab Heh. man login would have led you to the answer as well. Alright, you installed from serial with no monitor/kbd, so it's not going to be running a login on a nonexistent device, is it? You have to add a login for tty1,2,3,4,5,6 in /etc/inittab. They're probably there already but just commented out. Run # telinit q after you're done editing inittab. a
