[OpenIndiana-discuss] 151a8 text installer: unable to login?

[Cal Sawyer]

New here ...

Installing 151a8 on ESXi to have a look at OI ahead of possibly 
deploying on a very large archive server.

Install went fine (aside from requiring ESC+2 to move through config 
pages?).  On reboot, i only encountered a text login prompt.  I could 
not log in as root or the user configured during installation.

ssh was running but also refused login (with failures reported to the 
test console in ESXi OI guest)

Attempted installing 3 times (subsequent installs correctly used F-keys 
to page, btw).  Same result each time.

Going to try the LiveCD installer instead, but thought this might be a 
known issue with the text installer?

Also: Should the end result of a text install/reboot result in a 
graphical login screen or text?
