Looks to me like you're up and running --- although that bit about
pre-existing shared memory block worries me. Are you *certain* there is
no postmaster already running? I'd try "ps auxww | grep postmaster" (or
"ps -ef" depending on your Unix flavor) and look for older processes.
It's not at all impossible that your machine is already configured to
start Postgres at bootup.

You didn't put the postmaster in background. You may care to reread
the Admin Guide concerning standard procedures for starting the
postmaster...
