When I am booting my 3.2 install I am getting this error:

init: getty repeating too quicklyon port /dev/ttyv0, sleeping 30 secs
init: getty repeating too quicklyon port /dev/ttyv1, sleeping 30 secs
init: getty repeating too quicklyon port /dev/ttyv2, sleeping 30 secs

and I cannot regain terminal access (or any access) to my machine. I tried
single-user mode but it also still leaves me hanging here.

How can I override this and regain term access? Or, at the very least,
is there a way to at least get some data off this machine before a
reinstall?

Thanks.
