   Thanks for the additional info. Yeah, got the login screen, and I suppose   
   you're right about the wm button, but I didn't notice it (actually, noticed   
   a button, but didn't try it to see what it does). If the inittab change   
   wasn't possible, then I guess this would've been the fallback solution.
