i'm an idot! lol
so blind.....
as i say when i can't find a tool in my shop. "i'm blind in one eye
and i can't see out of the other" .....
the fix for my problem?
i didn't have a /dev in my clients exported root file system dealy!!!!
so i guess not being able to open an inital console is because there
isn't one there :-p (/dev/console) ok so yea its not quite working yet
but the last tid bits look to be stupid link deals

thanks for all your help!!
