  2. Hi I have a similar problem - but I cant get it to show the starting.... screen in the console (I use putty.exe) It just goes straight to Login and says access denied (because I assume Im pressing the Ctrl-B and it doesn't like that as a password). Anyone know where I'm going wrong?

    2. CTRL + B is used after the first 2 CTRL+ options when it is booting only.
