HD Install :: hd install: cannot boot in runlevel: 5

hi

i've been successful in installing DSL to the hdd of a number of machines i'm setting up for a community centre public access suite. however, i cannot get the machines to boot into X as user dsl - i get this on boot-up:

> cloop: intializing cloop v.201
> INIT: entering runlevel: 5
> mount: no medium found
> umount: cdrom not mounted
> mount: can't find /mnt/hda2
> /mnt/hda2 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
> umount: /mnt/hda2
> /mnt/hda2: not found

then i have to logon manually and X starts automatically.

i've looked at the wiki and FAQ but have not yet found anything so far about this - /etc/inittab is set to the default of runlevel: 5 and i don't get this stuff about mounting /dev/hda2

any ideas - many thanks in advance.
