Sounds like you didn't have a getty running on the console.

When in single user, do "mount -u /" toi remount the root partition for 
read-write access.  Then you can add users (use vipw, please!) and you 
can edit /etc/ttys to set up ttye0 to run a getty.

then, when you exit to multi-user, you'll get a login prompt after the 
rest of init finishes.
