Thanks. /bin/bash got me to console. But the init sequence for my
container is different from the one started using lxc tools with
/bin/bash. So I changed it to /sbin/init and now I can get the usual
login prompt. Fun doesn't end there. Am prompted for login but the
password is never accepted whereas I can login using the same password
(as root) in the container started using lxc tools. So eventually am
not able to login :-(
