Previously I could boot into single user mode with the following line |
2 |
in grub |
3 |
|
4 |
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.8-gentoo-r3 root=/dev/hdc7 single |
5 |
|
6 |
After a recent emerge sync and update of world, the above is just a |
7 |
normal multiuser boot. |
8 |
|
9 |
I can use |
10 |
|
11 |
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.8-gentoo-r3 root=/dev/hdc7 softlevel=single |
12 |
|
13 |
but this is not the same as booting into single user mode. For |
14 |
example, there are virtual terminals, and hitting ^D does not then put |
15 |
you into multiuser mode. |
16 |
|
17 |
I like single user mode for doing (incremental) backups each day |
18 |
before logging in. I realize I can write "init.d scripts" and will |
19 |
probably do so, but having an interactive shell "on the way up to" |
20 |
full multiuser mode seems useful. |
21 |
|
22 |
Does anyone know the current method of achieving what |
23 |
|
24 |
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.8-gentoo-r3 root=/dev/hdc7 single |
25 |
|
26 |
use to do a few weeks ago? |

Thanks, |
