Ouch. By the looks of it the regular user wasn't added (and possibly the
root users password wasn't enabled). Was the partition large enough for
the install? You could try setting the password by hitting shift at the
lilo prompt and entering 'linux init=3D/bin/sh'. This should boot and give
you a console right away with which would allow you to set the password
manually... although I do find this a very strange issue you're having.

the complete install log (morphixinstaller -d or the terminal output)
might give more clues. I'm not sure what's happening, you might want to
try a forum search if others have had similar issues.

cheers,
