Not logged as a root when booting from Live cd 2005.0 i've got a login prompt after the password for root was auto scrambled and any other users are set - thats a shame :)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.boot from livecd :)
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
i've got a prompt to type username and password - but i don't know them cause 
3 lines up the password was auto-scrambled :( 

Expected Results:  
log me as a root i supose :) or give me the chance to set the passwd ....

can't login so no further information will be send :P that's a bloker so i 
suppose that it will be fixed in the near future - shit i've lost 1 cd :P

Looks like hardened-x86-2005.0_test9.iso is the same. Boots to a graphical login
after scrambling root password. Wierd!

Well, I'm going to need to find out about your hardware, because starting with 2005.0, we forced login via 
a bashlogin application written in-house.

What command line options are you using?

Kumba: Can you provide me some information on how exactly you're hitting this
bug?  The original bug poster seems to be AWOL, and I'm not interested in the
Hadrened CD stuff, but the regular CD, since the Hardened guys do their own
things when it comes to the CD booting.

Not sure if it's much good, but I'll attach the entire bootup log, from PROM to
the point in which I hit the reset button.  I might provide some info into
either how this bug is occurring, whether the fact the initrd /dev couldn't be
unmounted is the problem, or whateher it's more a baselayout bug of some kind.

Ignore the fields specific to the kernel.  I commented out that code in
catalyst to work around it until I can make genkernel work for mips-sources.

Discovered my issue is a glitch from when I copied the cata lyst arch-script
from alpha.  As for original cause of problem on this bug....got me :)

Is this still an issue with 2005.1's CD?

Please REOPEN with more information (more than 2 months with no response from BP)
