Yes, but the question was whether you can type at the prompt once the
root login comes up.

Actually, I was using 32-bit.  I notice that after installing the final
release... there's no prompt at all!  It just drops me to a root prompt
without a login!  I realize that all bets are off if someone has
physical access to the machine, but isn't this a bit extreme?
