Problems logging in

Hey.
I have an Toshiba T1000SE with an Intel 80C86-2 9.54 MHz processor, a little 20MB hardddrive, 640KBytes of memory extended with some extra memory card.

The battery eliminator is designed to output max 580mA and the puter require 2A according to the specification. Don't know if that matters, the computer boot free from errors.

I wrote a imagefile (full3) to a floppy with:
dd if=full3 of=/dev/fd0

the output from dd is:
2880+0 records in
2880+0 records out
1474560 bytes transferred in 48.029910 secs (30701 bytes/sec)

Seems fine, right?

I boot my Toshiba from the new made floppy and all the output seems fine, no errors or such.
A pretty little login-prompt shows up. I tried to login as root and then it reads a bit from
the floppy and then just freeze.

Anyone who sits on a solution of my problem?

thanks
Johan

I forgot to mention that the full3 image I use is from the image-latest-packet:

I get the same problem only if networking is enabled.
I think it's a RAM problem. ELKS doesn't use the 5MB extend memory of my 286.
You can try the comb image.

and the puter require 2A according to the
specification. Don't know if that matters, the
computer boot free from errors.

It seems those boot floppies (they haven't been
updated in a while; I haven't gotten around to
checking a more recent kernel) have some sort of
problem booting ash at login. It appears to be SSOBS
(Some Sort Of Bug Somewhere). Edit the first line of
/etc/passwd on the root floppy from /bin/ash to
/bin/sash. Starting ash from sash seems to work fine.
