I just tried it; no matter what I do I get prompted for the root password.
This makes sense; init invokes /sbin/rcS during startup; if anything
unhappy happens _that_ invokes /sbin/sulogin (yeah, I did make sure
that a prom password was set).
Maybe I'm not being forceful enough with this poor SS20... ;-)

SunOS behavior by setting the value of PASSREQ in /etc/default/sulogin
to "NO" -- but that obviously requires that you get your hands around
the machine's throat.
