We have a Raspberry Pi here that was working fine, but because my colleagues tend to reboot the thing by unplugging the power, the root file-system got dirty. To fsck the root file-system, I attempted to boot it into single-user mode using nextboot -o "-s" -k kernel. Unfortunately, it never shows the single user mode prompt. The system gets stuck trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/mmcsd0s2a And it does that every time I attempt to boot it, because that nextboot flag never gets cleared! There doesn't appear to be any method of interrupting the boot loader on the Pi either. How do I get out of this pickle? -- If you can't see the forest for the trees, Cut the trees and you'll see there is no forest.
