I had three very quick replies from some of the usual suspects.
Dr Blinn,Oisin McGuinness and Michael Caplin.
The answer was to boot into single user. I did "set boot_osflags S"
but apparently boot -fl S will do. Run bcheckrc to mount the disks as
RW and then rm the link from rc3.d/??Xlogin ->../init.d. This worked
fine and I am now in the system.
Thanx.

Hi Managers,
I have a DEC 3000 that I am trying to re-create. I have hit a snag
with X. Each time after I have run the install, the system tries to
boot into CDE and promptly crashes leaving me at the boot prompt.
I am not too concerned with running an X server so fixing this error
isn't a priority. I would like to get into the system though. Does
anyone know how I can boot the system without it going directly into
X?
For those how are interested the error with X was to do with 'PV TLB'.
Thanx.
Dp.
