password

[Noah Sombrero <fedora@fea.st>]

I understand that debian 11 does not establish a root password during
installation, regardless of what the installer says.  To get a root
password, I need to add
rw init=/bin/bash
to the grub start up script or
ro init=/bin/bash
to end of the kernel line

Either way I get an error message saying that the ioctl is not
appropriate for the shell.  How can I fix that?
