It's not where you want to boot single user from. > It's what loads /boot/loader which gives a menu. From there, hit > escape and type boot -s at the ok prompt... all boot2 knows is how to > load /boot/loader, the kernel 20 years ago lost the ability to boot > from boot2... it's path syntax is super weird.. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
