invalid root shell !!!
Sorry, I forgot to mention that I succeeded following tuka's advice, booting from CD, etc..., BTW, single-user mode was not accessible (when booting from HD) - it refused to eneter signle user mode (also: Invalid shell message) and end-up switching into run-level 3... 10x again tuka!- tweeester
