You should have hit the E-stop button when the runaway started, you probably could have stopped it in the middle. One thing you can do is move the machine a little by hand and see if LinuxCNC shows the movement on the screen. Don't hit F1 until you know the encoders are working. If so, the encoders are being read by the PC, at least, and you should get a following error if a runaway were to occur. But, I know after a while of correct operation, you won't want to do that every time. You need to set up the hal files to command a servo shutdown on a following error, I can tell you how to do that.
