A quick question for all the BSD people.
How do I boot NetBSD into single-user mode? In case it matters, this is
on Sparc.
A pint for whoever helps me reset the root password :-)

You may need variations
Summary:
pwd_mkdb didn't work, so I tried re-installing (it was a fresh install I'd
broken anyway). I then proceded to get very annoyed with the NetBSD
installer, because it doesn't let you go back and correct your stupid
mistakes. And then installed Debian.
