Hello list, I need to either make the system single user node by either becoming it (as root, shutdown now) or booting into it (either at the boot prompt or with nextboot) and I can do neither, so obviously I'm going about this the wrong way. "shutdown now" never returns a prompt and "nextboot -o "-s" -k kernel *will* boot the kernel after shutdown -p but I get no prompt. Last two lines of output: warning: no time-of-day clock registered, system time will not be set accurately random: unblocking device. and there it sits. I left it for 15 mins to make sure it wasn't just slow. ctrl-alt-del rebooted the pi but other than that, nothing had any effect. ** also, rebooting didn't fix this. Nextboot, when it boots, attempts to zero nextboot.conf but it couldn't do this. In order to get it to boot again I had to remove the config by taking the sd card out and mounting it on another machine. *** How can I make it single user mode? The reason this needs to be done is I need to move some filesystems around. thanks, -- John
