Why not simply type reboot and when the system counts down the 10 seconds before booting,
press the space-bar


and then type: boot -s

NOT an option ;-))

I don't want to halt the system; I want to go to single user mode and
always read there are two ways for this: "boot single" at startup _or_
"shutdown now" on a running system. The latter does not work on my
fbsd-4.7R box and I wander why..

I worry about my child and the Internet all the time, even though she's
too young to have logged on yet. Here's what I worry about. I worry
that 10 or 15 years from now, she will come to me and say "Daddy, where
were you when they took freedom of the press away from the Internet?"

Unix IS user friendly... It's just selective about who its friends are.
System Administration - It's a dirty job, but somebody said I had to do it.
If you receive something that says 'Send this to everyone you know,
pretend you don't know me.
