: I think you should still be able to login to the system via network.
: Send me /var/run/dmesg.out, /boot.config, /boot/loader.rc and your
: kernel configuration file for examination.
(Sorry. Insufficient clarity is ever the petty hobgoblin that haunts
my email. Or is it otiose purple? I forget.)
What I mean to describe is that, from the time /boot/loader beings a
"boot" until "Login:", no console activity is visible. If it never
gets that far -- c'est perdu. Attempting to "boot -s" results in no
better results: No prompt ever appears. Sometimes I can ctl-alt-del
my way back to the BIOS, in order to boot a different kernel, and
sometimes I can't.
I'm expecting that there is a config element required in order to
avoid this behaviour. Inspection of GENERIC and LINT did not make
it evident, however, and a bisection search on LINT would take an
absurd amount of time, hence my query.
