Hmm, the "default max_connections" and "default shared_buffers" values
are pretty fishy: those are the minimums that initdb will select if
the postgres bootstrap process failed to start with anything larger.
I interpret the above as saying that postgres boot won't start at all.
What do you see if you start it by hand, ie

postgres -boot -x0 template1
