AAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH my 040 cube does not complete booting!

I was trying those changes suggested by people so to display hostname
in the login window. I tried the one that add -HostName hostname" to
the /etc/ttys file. I thought it can be re-read simply by killing
the process by kill -HUP 1 (from memory, perhpas I have this wrong)
suddenly, the whole thing froze, and there was no way I could do much
on that. I went into monitor and tried reboot. 
Everything went fine untill when it was starting standard deamons.
these are what I got on the screen (verbose mode)

starting standard daemons: update cron.

May 4 22 :34:48 localhost syslog:loginwindow: could not find WindowServer Port!

and the same error message got repeated several times.
I also tried to powerdown and up (obvious, didn't help)
Now that my mind is blank, and I am open to ANY suggestion you have

Thanks guys!
(mmm... I don't know how can I survive without you guys!:)
