I used init s. I thought that was the same. Thanks for the tip, I'll try that.

I'm not using LILO and boot into Linux from a config.sys menu option
under Win95. I use loadlin to boot Linux. I needed to do some
maintenance the other day and found that booting single from a running
system doesn't work very well. It keeps /usr mounted because it doesn't
kill off the process u
oops, ignore my previous mail about booting single user simply
appending "single" to the loadlin commandline did the trick :-)

Howdy,
I'm trying to install a Linux machine as DNS-server. Unfortunately
I did something wrong and now my Linux machine hangs when starting named
at boottime. Is there any way to prevent Linux from trying to start
named (e.g. boot single user) when booted via Loadlin?
Thanks in advance,
Nic

A while back someone told me how to boot in single-user mode. I can't
seem to find that email, and there is no man page for boot or single.
Could someone please refresh my memory?
And I wonder why commands like 'shutdown -s' do not result in a
single user boot?
TIA

Hi,

If you dont get the lilo prompt you need to hold down the shift-key before
the kernel is loading. This will be a user option in liloconfig.
BTW: instead of 'single' you can also use 'emergency' which will even skip

Ken, I'm not certain, but you can get to it by issuing the command
'telinit 1' while logged in as root. Thats one way.

I'm assuming you use lilo. when you boot up and get the lilo prompt,
type: linux single
^(or whatever you call your linux partition)
if you don't use lilo, you have to have a way to pass the message single
to init, so read the help files for whatever loader you use.
Hope this helps

Last night I tried and tried to get my system to come up in
single user mode (so I could do some major filesystem changes).
I couldn't get it to come up single-user. I tried booting from
the original install boot floppy, and to my surprise it booted
up my kernel on the hard disk?!?!?!
I couldn't
