My problem is this. I can't get the login prompt when connecting using cu -l /dev/cuaa0, after the install /reboot. I did setup ssh, but I can't connect using ssh and root. I did not setup another account, so I have to get in and install an account. I did get single user up, but I have limited commands and it won't allow me to adduser.?? When I boot up under default, it just holds at the date and time. Please help? Or any ideas of what I should be doing differently. Bruce
