Good guess.

Uncommenting the s6 invocations still left me at Login prompt but
running
	s6-rc -u change default
now brings up the system. This exposed a problem with an unknown user
(s6log) which I had forgotten to add to the new build.

It's early days; I think I'll clean out /etc/s6* and start again.

Thanks for your help.
