I was working on a customer's machine recently that refused to boot to
single-user mode. The AS2100 was running DU4.0D PK3. From multi-user mode,
shutdown now resulted in the prompt 'Enter the operating system level you
wish to go to (0-9,S, s)' but if s or S was entered, the question was merely
repeated.
>From the console prompt I tried 'boot -fl s' and 'boot -fi /genvmunix -fl s'
but each time it went into multi-user mode.
I know that a previous system manager added various start-up scripts (for
Oracle) in /sbin/rc3.d, /sbin/rc0.d and /sbin/init.d, but I couldn't see
anything missing that would prevent a single-user mode boot.
Any ideas?
I'll try to summarise,
