Hi,

My G4 laptop suddenly started up into a full screen console window.
Everthing appears normally at first, I get a grey screen apple and the
rotating "clock" thing. Then I see a "Welcome to Macintosh" screen and it
loads up TCP/IP stuff and then suddenly, instead of getting the desktop or
login screen, I get a full screen console login screen.

I can login and access files and such but cannot get it to boot up
"normally". Has anyone run into this problem? I don't know what to do. I
did a fsck -fy and everything appears fine. If I try booting into safe mode
the same thing happens.

Help!!!

David

By the way, I'm running OSX 10.2.8.
