Are you doing this from a terminal connected to the serial port or from the 
graphics console (I have to assume the former since the latter is 
definitely not supported.)

Basically it is telling you that /etc/rc.conf has not been configured yet 
so its going single user. If you can't type 'return' and get the prompt 
then you may have a bad cable or your terminal may not be transmitting. Try 
setting the terminal to 9600 baud, data leads only, in the set up screen.

I like VLCs. :-) And will buy any VLC for $15 in unknown condition and $30 
if it has RAM and a hard drive.
If you have any you'd like to sell, let me know...
