Ahhh... hyperterminal.

There's three things that I had to fix to get intimate to work. In order:

1) Check the module name in the linuxrc.intimate script. There's a section
where it loads the pcmcia modules to try and find the hard drive, and that
was failing because the name of one of the modules was wrong. Check the
output of lsmod in familiar, and fix the module name

2) The serial port given in inittab was incorrect, and caused a getty to
loop spawn. It was something like "tts/0" and needed to be changed to
"ttySA0".

3) Same thing as 2 in the securetty file -- have to give root permission
to log in :)
