lilo: <linux-kernel-image> single Eg. type "linux single" in the lilo:-prompt to boot into single-user mode. (you may also use "<linux-kernel-image> 1") Please notice that the default setup of LILO on a debian install has lilo locked, meaning you're not able to type anything - you'll have to use a boot floppy. - Michael
