Did you modify your /etc/inittab (or how the hell is this beast called) in
which is described which shell and/or window should be brought up upon

Perhaps you can login via a terminal on serial ports or via ethernet; if
not I think you have to rebuild the system from the optical disk :-(

Hope that helps...
