Hi!!!

I've a problem while booting my linux system...

After the message:
Starting internet superserver: inetd
there come the error messages:
INIT: Id "1" respawing too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: Id "1" respawing too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: Id "1" respawing too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: Id "1" respawing too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
and so on...

I'm runnig it on a Performa 630 with 12 MB RAM.
Some facts about it:

But without CD-ROM drive, without ethernet and without TV etc.

And I've configured the Debian GNU/Linux distribution by this pages:

Look in /etc/inittab for a line beginning with '1:'. It should be
something like "1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty --noclear tty1"

What is probably happening is the system is trying to start a
getty on tty1 (virtual console #1), but it is failing. The most
likely cause is that the respective getty program (getty, mingetty,
et al) has not been installed.

If nothing else, this should get you pointed in the right direction
to solving the problem.
