I've gotten bitten by this problem before, and this solution
unfortunately won't help. The machine cycles so fast between
launching X and X dying that you only get a fraction of a second at
the console, then it switches back to X, then back to the console,
then back to X...
You can't type anything reliably, because only a small portion of your
keypresses make it to the console.
