When I said single user, maybe that wasn't the right thing to say. When I tell it the root partition (/dev/mirror/gm0s1a), it then asks me to choose a shell (bin/sh being the default). When I select the shell it takes me to a command line where only / is mounted. -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
