thanks you to the list for the help, some messages even came in before
my post ;-)
problem:
dupatch thinks it is not in single user mode. will not install
Booted from prom to single user mode: boot -fl s
ran bcheckrc
swapon -a
update
then init s
dupatch was happy, but I am sure there is a better way ..??
