I can avoid login procedure at all by replacing tinylogin call by simple sh in inittab or by removing inittab at all:
#::askfirst:/bin/tinylogin login -f root ::askfirst:/bin/sh I get shell prompt all right without logging. However login doesn't work and I don't understand why. I tried to change password using passwd (user: root, password: root), but login still doesn't work: / # passwd root Changing password for root Enter the new password (minimum of 5, maximum of 8 characters) Please use a combination of upper and lower case letters and numbers. Enter new password: Re-enter new password: Password changed. / # Dec 31 18:02:29 Sequoia auth.info passwd[38]: password for `root' changed by user `root' / # login Sequoia login: root Password: Login incorrect Does somebody know a way to make tinylogin give out more detailed iunformation? Of course, I can always debug it since I have source...

When I boot linux using NFS filesystem, supplied with ELDK itself, I can login (usrr root, no password). However I couldn't login while used ramdisk, built by myself or taken from AMCC resource CD. Combinations root/root or root/nothing don't work. Sequoia login: root Password: Login incorrect Please press Enter to activate this console.

Scheduling it for restart. How I can learn what user/password combination are configured and how do I change them?
