Thanks to Christian Mönch ....... moench_at_tm.informatik.uni-frankfurt.de

He suggested I make sure that the console variable boot_osflags wasn't set
to S:

"in the srm console check the `boot_osflags' (or `bootosflags') setting.
It must not be `-flags S' (or `S') which will lead to single user mode.
Set it to an empty value or to the desired runlevel
greetings,
Christian

I took another look at the boot_oslfags using the
consvar -l command, saw that boot_osflags was set to 0 (zero), and then
used a consvar -s boot_osflags A 
command to set it properly,
Now it boots to nulti_user.
Thanks and regards
've never touched an 8200 before.  We just received one in trade from one
of our customers.
We loaded V4.0d + patchkit 3 on it, as well as TruCluster V1.5
When it boots, it stops at single user mode.  To get to multi-user mode
with netowrking, I've got to
either type ^d or init 3.
/etc/inittab looks identical to that of any other of our systems.
As do the console variables.  I.e, bootdef_dev, auto_action, boot_osflags,
etc.
Do any of you know why it might be stopping at run level s?
I'll summarize.
Thanks and regards
