This should have worked.  What is does is to set the following in
/etc/inittab

# see busybox-1.00rc2/examples/inittab for more examples
::sysinit:/etc/rc.d/rcS
::respawn:-/bin/sh
::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/reboot
::shutdown:/etc/rc.d/rcS stop
::restart:/sbin/init

The important thing is the line: ::respawn:-/bin/sh
so provided you have /bin/sh on your system, the startup should end up
at the shell prompt rather than the login prompt.

Do you mean log in as a different user? if so there is another user in
the default LTIB build: username: user, password: password (IIRC).

There is no mechanism in LTIB to log you in automatically, you'd have to
devise something (normally on the client end with something like Expect).
