no gettys: starting hold until boot process finishes up

[Felix Miata]

I just installed 16.04b. If I boot with 3 on cmdline, I get the gettys 
expected, but if to graphical/greeter, there are no gettys, and tty1 is full 
of normal boot messages, followed by $SUBJECT with "no limit" that never 
finishes. How to I troubleshoot what isn't happening?
