    I had three very quick replies from some of the usual suspects.
    Dr Blinn,Oisin McGuinness and Michael Caplin.

    The answer was to boot into single user. I did "set boot_osflags S"
    but apparently boot -fl S will do. Run bcheckrc to mount the disks as
    RW and then rm the link from rc3.d/??Xlogin ->../init.d. This worked
    fine and I am now in the system.
    Thanx.

    ===========Original message========
    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.
