I did do this:
rc_configured=YES
And I was not able to get multi user mode. I am guessing you switch like
in Linux? Alt-F1? Then I saw that I had to have:
program=YES,

And I was still not able to multi user mode.

Can some help?

Real programmers do not comment their code. If it was hard to write, it
should be hard to understand.
