Re: How to boot single?
Thanks for the ultra-quick response!
I tried things like
boot sda3:vmlinux.gz root=/dev/sda3 single
boot sda3:vmlinux.gz single
at the MILO prompt, with and without double quotes around the boot
params. I am not sure if they are required (it didn't seem to matter
either way).
There are already some environs defined, so if I just let it boot after
selecting "RedHat..." from the boot selection menu, I get as far as the
smbd hold-and-bail point. I can see boot params actually passed as they
FLY by.
I guess I forgot to mention that so far anything I do results in the
boot process simply stopping at the running of smbd or before it with a
kernel panic.
I will try the "ro" param tomorrow... it is nearly 3am here, and work
calls tomorrow am... er, today...
