[syslinux] PXEboot works but running into a wall at "login"

[ganapathy murali krishnan]

* To get a root shell without a login add this to you /etc/inittab
--- begin include ---
tty2:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -i -n -l /bin/bash 38400 tty2
tty3:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -i -n -l /bin/bash 38400 tty3
--- end include ---
This spawns a root shell on consoles 2 and 3 under runlevels 1,2,3,4 and 5.


* Authentication problem:
   Check /dev: you may be missing some devices (or have wrong permissions).
   Like tty* zero, null....
