Change what loads on startup/boot?

[mk01]

add "init=/bin/bash" to /boot/cmdline.txt

reboot

you get root prompt. single user mode - like. put manual into the .conf file … you don't have to delete it. and meanwhile we will think about…

mk

just a question. normally you was booting into tty ? so tty was started, splash was stopped and you had login.

and now it stops before stopping splash?

you can also remove "splash" from /boot/cmdline.txt to see what is happening.

and in beta1X tty is started at end of runlevel2, what means as very last process / service. try with no splash please.
