I actually did, Tony, and I have entered the command prompt several times in the past, altough never with v. 3.0b3a, which I am running now.
I see the boot messages as I recycle the power to the player, but somehow it does not seem to get input fro the keyboard. If select Quit from the empeg menu, it actually tells me this:

Restored terminal settings
Remounting first music partition read-only
Remounting second music partition read-only
Player exited normally: 0
Switching to shell-player loop
Starting bash.
empeg:/empeg/bin#

but at that point nothing that I type shows on screen, and the empeg simply stays there and wait. :? What am I doing wrong?


Edit:
And yes, I do have the developer version.
