I wouldn't recommend using single user mode to do anything other than repair but it's not true to say that doing so is a lot of work. /etc/rc is only ~600 lines and a lot of that is unnecessary if the server is going to run a single thing. In many cases you can probably get away with just mount/fsck/pfctl/netstart. There is actually no such thing as "single user mode". All there is is a kernel which hasn't done anything yet, and everything OpenBSD's does as it "enters multi-user mode" is described clearly and comprehensively in /etc/rc. Duplicating what little of it you want is, literally, as simple as copy-paste. Matthew
