i've tried and tried the boot -s to boot into single
user mode.  is a possiblity that i hosed the conf file
in etc that controls the boot loader?  if so would
that allow it to still boot to mutiuser but not single
user?  just a thought

any ideas on what to do since single user mode doesn't
work? i even tried booting linux off another drive to
be able to mount the partition, but that doesn't work
either...what can i do?

nathan
