I need to boot into another run level on a Sun Netra X1 server. I have a start up stript in /etc/rc2.d that hangs the system and locks up the boot process.

Is there a way I can boot into into single users mode during the boot process ?

Help

Just in case anyone one runs into this problem here is the answer. After much research and poor documentation.

Booting into single user mode on a Sun Netra X1 server

1. Break into the lomlite shell "lom>" during boot
#.

2. from the lomlite shell use the "break" command. This will put you at the ROM prompt (OK)
lom> break

Note: I had to run through steps 1 and 2 twice before I was able to break out into the "ROM" prompt (OK)

3. boot -s

4. Now re-mount "/" filesystem with read-write permissions
mount -o remount /

5. Now you can edit the faulty startup script (/etc/rc2.d)
