It always boot in MU mode. I do (from the SRM) >>> boot -flags s dkc0 And then from the loader: disk0> boot /boot/kernel.NICKEL and end up in single user as expected. However, if I do: >>> boot dkc0 ... disk0> boot /boot/kernel.NICKEL -s and end up in MU. Oh, on the subject of booting: It also appears as if when there is a /kernel.GENERIC, and a /boot/kernel.GENERIC, what actually boots is /kernel. Sounds strange...
