1 Is it still possible to boot into 'single' mode,
2 ie directly into a no-login root system (for emergencies) ?
3
4 The kernel dox suggest this should work in Lilo
5
6 image = /boot/kernel-2.6.9-gentoo-r1
7 label = Single
8 root = /dev/hda3
9 append="S"
10 read-only
11
12 but it boots to a login prompt as usual.
13 Replacing 'S' with 'single' doesn't work either.
14
15 Does anyone have single mode set up satisfactorily ?
