68k linux boot question

[Andrew <zx6rs@paradise.net.nz>]

Hi all, I'm new to Linux (I know nothing) and I'm trying to install linux 
on a Mac Quadra 605. I downloaded the CD archive and put it onto a HFS 
partition and installed from there. All seemed OK till the reboot after 
initial  installation.
I'm using Penguin-18 to boot and that part is OK. It starts the boot 
process up to the point where the it goes:

INIT: Entering runlevel: 2
Starting system log daemon: syslogd klogd.
Starting internet superserver: inetd.
INIT: Id "1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: Id "1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: Id "1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes

and rtepeats this every five minutes. I can go into another screen but I 
can't finish the install.
Any clues, guesses or help (in plain english please - I don't understand 
much of this linux yet, I haven't got it running!) I just don't know what 
to look at.
I've looked through all the readme's and past postings to this list as 
well as the FAQ's I can find. No help.

Cheers,
Andrew
