I have a similar entry, but have never used the softlevel=
flag, I simply append "single" at the end of the kernel call
and it boots in single user (root password or ctrl+d to continue).
I did get this to work:
title Gentoo single user
kernel (hd0,0)/bzImage-2.6.38-r5-1 root=/dev/sda3 rw single
So, all I need now is to figure out how to get this work:
title Gentoo boot level
kernel (hd0,0)/bzImage-2.6.38-r5-1 root=/dev/sda3 softlevel=boot
It appears the softlevel= is no longer working with the new
openrc. It looks like the docs need to be updated. I also tried
init= and it doesn't work either.
Time to go farther up the food chain I guess. The docs need to be
changed at least.
Updated docs are always good, but I wonder why do you need this.
If I need single user I simply press "e", edit the line and add
single, followed by a "b" to boot. That is a for maintenance only so I
really don't see a need for it at grub menu, same wth the other
runlevels, all you gotta do is append "nox" or use Interactive (again,
this is only if something is broken, I can't see myself doing this
twice in a week)...

The thing is, I do use them which is why I went to the trouble of
setting them up to begin with. I actually use them pretty regular.
Just because others don't use them doesn't mean that I don't or shouldn't.
I tried to use them is how I figured out it didn't work anymore. That
alone shows that I use them for various reasons. This update is less
than a week old and I already found out that this doesn't work anymore.
I just want to figure out how it works with openrc which it appears no
one has a answer and the docs are wrong as well.
Thanks.
