People are trying to help you.  You are trying to install linux on a
6360.  Equivalent to dropping a small bock chevy in a Willy's Jeep. 
Not entirely impossible, but it's going to take a lot of work, on
your part.  Are you logging in as root?  what text editor are you
using?  pico or vi or are you just typing /etc/initab?  If that's the
case, you will not be able to edit the file.

Just in case.

At BootX type "linux single" no quotes
use pico or vi to edit /etc/initab
save your work, and voila let us know
