Subject: Netra problem with login

    Almost there on the Netra t1 105.....

    I've got Linux on the machine and YAST has rebooted......However, when the
    system enters runlevel 3 and the 'login:' prompt is about to appear, I get the
    following message:

    INIT: Id "1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
    INIT: Id "2" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
    INIT: Id "3" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
    INIT: Id "4" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
    INIT: Id "5" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
    INIT: Id "6" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes

    This repeats every 5 minutes. I know this problem is caused by my /etc/inittab
    file but I can't get into the system to edit the file. The is a headless box
    accessed through the serial port so I assume from the posts I've been reading
    that the Rescue Disk is not an option.....

    Anyway I can get into the system to edit the file?

    Thanks,
    Jeff
