+serial login debugging:
+- user not being created correctly?
+- init seems to be the problem: doesn't respect inittab
+    - maybe due to earlier init not completing? known problem w/ rc.local
+    - 'init s' then canceling brings up login correctly
+    - ordering of script might be the problem? tried moving to 010-*
+- add "dhclient eth0" to 9999-* and "echo root:crud | chpasswd" script to
+  enable remote login and set root password (for debugging with a router+ssh)
+- tried removing modprobe.d and sysctl.conf files
+- mildly shifted u-boot parameters around...
+- perhaps a new or changed set of packages? or a package dependancy?
+- also, haven't been building regularly due to missing symlink problem
+- maybe need to update host's live-boot, live-config?
+- or should add snapshots repos to the package list?
+- WORKED BEFORE ARG
