The only way I know of to fix this problem is to either remove the hard
drive and mount it in a Linux system (to remove/trim the files) or to
boot the RaQ in single user mode.  I do not remember if a RaQ2 can be
booted single user, and when I tried to search the Cobalt Knowledge
Base, all I can get is:

Warning: Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: Sorry, too many clients
already in /home/sites/site1/web/community/classes/db.class on line 57
ERROR: 
Couldn't make database connection


Once you get the problem fixed, you can add the line "ttyS0" to
/etc/securetty, and then you can login as root directly on the serial
port.
