You can only login after the rootfs has booted. Prior to that, access is via the chroot command which does not use login. If the passwd command reports "password updated successfully" then that is all you need to do. Using chroot to get a prompt, there is no login, you already have a prompt. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
