    Hi Managers,

    I have a DEC 3000 that I am trying to re-create. I have hit a snag with X. Each time
    after I have run the install, the system tries to boot into CDE and promptly crashes
    leaving me at the boot prompt.

    I am not too concerned with running an X server so fixing this error isn't a priority. I
    would like to get into the system though. Does anyone know how I can boot the
    system without it going directly into X?

    For those how are interested the error with X was to do with 'PV TLB'.

    Thanx.
    Dp.
