[comp.sys.hp] Booting Single-User

paul@mecazh.uu.ch (Paul Breslaw) (08/30/90)

Is there a method of booting an HP9000/3xx (HP-UX6.5 or 7.0) in
a single-user mode analogous to 

> b -s

on a Sun or a Vax. I don't want to change /etc/inittab, and I want
a login before /etc/rc is run.

Thanks

Paul Breslaw

Sorry, no there is not.  The boot rom code doesn't have the ability to
pass run-level info to init.
