I have no access to a /25 system. But I was able to boot a 3100 up to
single user mode. I haven't tried vipw, but you could try to use
just vi /etc/passwd. Just a thought: does it help to specify the
TERM environment variable? I know of some termcap libs that fail without.
If I can reproduce the login problem, maybe I can find out what happens.
I hope to update the root-image in the next weeks. Things that should be
changed are:
- New net-tools for 2.2 kernels
- mount should work on all platforms
- login should work on all platforms
Regards,
Karel.
