I have no idea what I'd be looking for in ttys or how this would have
affected it.

However you are correct on the 192, I had put the ip address in
/etc/myname rather than the host name.

However this has not fixed my main problem.

I have done a brand new install since I first had the problem, yhen
followed the instructions here
http://www.teraqube.co.uk/software/#s1.2

When the install first finishes the display functions fine, then once
I've applied the setup parameters it stops at >poffd and never
displays the hostname and ip.

I know the display is still working because if I do a shutdown - r
then it shows the services that are being stopped.

I've followed these instructions bang on a few times now and still
get the same problem, I can't see why though.

I followed them once before (about 3 months ago) with a smaller hard
disk and the exact same boot image but back then it worked fine.

Bizzare, what does poffd actually do?

I'm Confused
