Ok, you can do the following:

type in

That will drop you into shell without asking for any passwords.

And remount the / partition as read-write.

Well, first of, you shoudl only play around with /etc/X11/XF86Config file

I am running a Debian 2.0 on a i686. It functions as an NFS server to
a number of other Debian i686 machines and a SPARC Solaris 2.5 machine.
I think the SPARC is crashing the nfsd on the Debian server and it
typically occurs when I copy very large files to the NFS FS from a
local FS on the SPARC
I realize this is not conclusive, but I recently upgraded one of my
systems to slink with the latest libc6 2.0.7.19981211 without incident
(and subsequently to potato with only a minor problem (a missing
dependency in netbase) which was easily resolved.)

Thank you for the responses.
About those:
- this is a experimental instalation, and
although I have little space on disk, I tried
to install one application at time, so there was
always at least 20-30 Mb free.
- in startup, the kernel says:

I think that is only for denying/allowing specific hosts - I want to permit
