Afaik the root password is set to a random value by default.
You have to change it using passwd |

i had the same problem installing on ppc. It is all written in the instructions. In my case you had to enter some arguments:
rw init=/linuxrc cdroot
when I tried whitout cdroot I couldn't log in to root, and when I tried without rw I wasn't able to read/write. I don't know how the procedure goes in your case.
Hope it's any help  |

forgive me, but I don't get it:
boot: rw init=/linuxrc cdroot <RETURN>
does not work. I simply cannot login after the boot process has completed ... |
