Your editor seems to be inserting trailing whitespace when lines are wrapped. This means that the lines starting with + in the diff above insert whitespace that someone will have to delete later. b. Is "just press 4" some magic key combo for the boot loader of 5.X? I've been using a lot of different keys: SPACE, RETURN, ESC are a few of those. There is nothing different to the boot process of 5.X regarding single-user mode AFAIK. Did I miss/overlook something?
