Help Need To Reset Root Password

Hi everyone...
I've got a SL-6000 with rc12 on it. I've been doing some local development work. I got distracted and pulled off of this project for about a month. Now I'm back on it and I cant remember the root password.
I need some way of resetting the root password. I've tried booting off of the install media and it mounts the flash root and then mounts the install media root right on top of it. This leaves me with no way of getting to /etc/passwd
I can't find any documents about the boot loader and how to get the device to boot into single user mode...
I need ANY help that I can get. I'm risking losing a couple months worth of work.....

Thanks in advance,

Chris Stradtman

Iwconfig Problems Under Rc12

It would appear that there is a iwconfig and wlan driver mismatch on the SL-6000/tosa under rc12

iwconfig wlan0 essid one
Error for wireless request "Set ESSID" (8B1A) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not supported.


or is this not meant to work ??

this appears to break the functionality of the network.py script.....

Oops On Sl-6000 With Rc12 And Xdm

Bad Nand Flash?

I'm having problems with a Zaurus Sl-6000. When I do a nand flash tests I start getting failuers about halfway through.. The jffs filesystem is complaining about missing inodes. and when I try to do a nand restore I get
Restore...failed
format error.

I've noticed that the diag menu has a format flash option....
Am I going to lose the bootloader and wind up with a paperweight if I try this...
or am I holding something well on it's way to a paperweight already ???

Thanks,

Chris
