Yes that worked great! Thanks very much indeed. However... When booting in
not single user mode as it boots up and cron starts. I get the following
error:

/dev/ttyE0 No such file or directory.

Of course, creating such a directory does not get rid of the error. At that
point it boots no further (I went to bed and left it and in the morning it
was still complaining that it couldn't find ttyE0).

I therefore cannot do anything with it, since it doesn't finish booting and
doesn't let me login.

Is this a known problem? Do you have any ideas of how to fix it?

Thanks very much.
