Dear SuSE-Sparc mailing list:
I had a problem yesterday with my /etc/rc.d/boot.local, which I have
since fixed. However, I couldn't boot into multi-user mode at the time,
since a program I was running through that was crashing the system. So I
tried, at the SILO boot: prompt, to type
SILO boot: linux single
which booted into single-user mode, but with the filesystem READ-ONLY! It
turned out that booting from the SuSE install CD-ROM, choosing "Expert
Installation" and changing virtual terminals to a shell, mounting my root
partition and editing the file did the trick. But it's a little disturbing
that single-user boot would have a read-only file system.
Sincerely,
Sean Callanan
