I took care of the password thing. Since security is really not an issue
here, editing the /etc/passwd (if shadow passwords are not enabled) and
/etc/shadow (if they are), and deleteing the encrypted portion removes
the password for root. Logging in automatically is quite simple after
that , changing in /etc/inittab :-
1:2345:respawn:/usr/bin/openvt -f -c 1 -w -- /bin/login -f root
that logs. in root in tty1.
As for the silent boot, thanks for the link mike. I'll check it out.
thanks
