Help - No login prompt

I followed the instructions at http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardDebian to
install debian on the beagleboard But when I boot the board it seems
to get stuck after mounting the root filesystem (no login prompt). Any
ideas will be much appreciated. Also why is it mounting ext3 as
readonly? Here is a screen dump:

EXT3-fs: INFO: recovery required on readonly filesystem.
EXT3-fs: write access will be enabled during recovery.
kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds
EXT3-fs: recovery complete.
EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.
VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) readonly.
Freeing init memory: 180K

hi, by default only the dvi+usb keyboard console is enabled. the
serial will only show boot dmesg, unles you enable more. the ext
errors are normal it will take 3 to 4 reboots to fix them. (TIMESTAMP)
make sure your uboot command has RO instead of RW. (extfsk only works
on ro mounts)
