I had the same error when I installed it, I think it is in the known
bugs on the webpage. The developers told me to be patient, those are
bugs in the graphical STI interface.

A perhaps related problem is that if you try to go down further than
the end of the file in vi, it crashes with a similar dump screen.

- Press <escape> before booting.
- search for the boot device:
	search scsi
- start the ipl:
	boot <scsi-dev> ipl
- edit the last parameter and add with a space:
	" init=1" or " init=/bin/sh"
Starting the IPL boot should get you booted. You should then perhaps
edit /etc/inittab before trying further.

Can anyone tell me, which script in /etc/init.d starts the virtual
consoles? It's none from the ones in /etc/rc1.d/...

Just try it? There is a special room for a second disk in my
machine, which I cannot use because the other disks I have get too
hot.
