Hi,

in the meanwhile usb0 (ethernet over usb) of my Arietta is
up and running and I can ssh from my PC to my arietta board.

But a single problem remains:
The root password.

Since this is initial installation of the stage3 for armel
(armv5tel) this password is not set.

When the Arietta board is runnig there is no other
access to that board as 
1.) ssh (needs password)
2.) insert the sdcard from the Arietta board into a cardreader

In case of 2.) the system is not runnig.

Since my PC is 64bit AMD and the Arietta board is 32bit Atmel
I dont know whether I can copy the appropiate strings from
/etc/{paasword,shadow*} from my PC to the Arietta board/sdcard
to gain access to the board...

Or is there any other way to get a valid password for root?

Best regards,
Meino
