Linux Does Not Open If Installation Is Interrupted
In Red Hat Linux 9, if the Linux installation does not start properly after initial
installation, you have to delete and re-create the C: drive.
In Linux, if the installation process is aborted anytime during installation, the
diskimage created will not work. You must delete the disk image, and use the Create
a New Emulated Drive option to restart the installation process.
When creating and installing Linux, always attach and create the diskimage at the
same time. Do not try to create another drive before the Linux installation is
complete or you will not be able to use the Linux diskimage.

You have to exit the SunPCi session and restart SunPCi using the -v option to
change from the system monitor to the external monitor.
Refer to the Red Hat Linux chapter “How to Prepare Linux to Display External
Video” on page 91 for information about changing the video display.

change the run level in the /etc/inittab directory by updating the following:
id:5:initdefault
to
id:3:initdefault
