Let's see if we can get a little more information. When you type "exit" you are likely at a command line? If so, what do the last few lines on the screen say?
As far as configurations, the one that worked for me is to plug the CD drive into IDE1 and the hard drives into IDE2. My best guess that changed the timing of the complex SCSI simulation code slightly so that it would boot O.K. A screen or so before the "can't access tty" had an "fsck" failure, namely the fsck (file system check) code was trying to verify a device that hadn't made it through the SCSI simulation code yet. There are a couple notes from other people on this problem in my post "Workarounds" on "Installation & Upgrades".
