Do this again.  When you get the shell prompt immediately issue the
command :

mount -a -t ufs

The /usr and other partitions are not likely to be mounted in single
user mode.  adduser is in /usr/sbin/ so isn't available until /usr is
mounted.  The comand above mounts all (-a) filesystems in the fstab with
file system type (-t) ufs.  This is very likely to get your /usr
partition mounted.
