Title: Booting To Command Line
Post by: charlesa on April 17, 2005, 07:03:25 am

Hi -

Is there a way to boot to command line and bypass Qtopia using Cacko 1.22a on a C860?  For some reason by boot gets hungup on starting the UI, so I want to try and bypass.

TIA,

C.

After the 'Sharp please wait' splash screen, and before the Cacko splash screen, when it says 'Wait...', hit '/'. Should get-

c (e): Console (tty1-tty6)
e (e): init 3 (ttyS0:pppd)
r (e): init 4 (ttyS0:terminal)
t (e): init 5 (ttyS0:-free-)

Keep in mind that the console doesn't scroll properly. Running 'clear' will clear the screen and reposition the cursor at the top. Not sure how to fix it properly. Booting the 'c' option, you can switch consoles with 'Fn'+number.
