Yes, I was demonstrating a failed installation. Except for one
successful installation -- and whether it succeeded is debatable,
since it did not result in a bootable system -- every installation I
have attempted, both before and after the debatably successful one,
has failed in the manner shown. And I do not know what I did
differently, on the occasion when the installation succeeded.
Anyway, I now have a 9front system that repeats "init: starting
/bin/rc" endlessly what it boots. Has anyone on this mailing list
seen this before? How do I fix it and obtain a usable system?
