We can't. Lack of binaries. You have to replace /bin/login with
a real one.

You are in a UMSDOS installation, isn't true?

In muLinux there is not mknod binary, sorry. Steps for recovery:

        -- boot mulinux,
        mount hard-disk with installed archives (for ex: /dev/hda1) --
        # mount /dev/hda1 /mnt
        # cd /mnt/mulinux
        # gzip -dc ROOT.gz > foo
        # mount -o loop foo /a -t ext2
        # cp -a /a/dev/lp0 /dev
        # umount /a
        # umount /mnt
        # rm foo

You see, with "cp -a" we can copy everything ...

8MB? With swap? X run, of course?
