well yes - my approach is the old "boot to DIAGS with a serial connection for control then login as root in DIAGS and change/set the root password in /etc/shadow" approach. After that you can boot normally and basically install all the parts (dev keys ect) that comprise root manually.

the kindle is just a fancy linux box after all.
