Fedora 9 Beta Live CD: disabling services during interactive startup

[Deependra Singh Shekhawat]

Hi,

I installed rawhide 4th april live cd for i686. And the problem during
the first boot after installation is when the first-boot service
starts. It just hangs and shows a blue screen. Later when I did a
interactive startup pressing 'I' I didn't started first-boot and it
worked like charm.

So it might be the first-boot service but I am not sure. Is it a live
session or post install session ?

Thanks
