Instead of booting into single user mode, just boot the
text installer image like you do now, without the "-s". This will allow you
to boot into the text installer menu. From the menu, choose option 3,
which will give you a shell with root access.
Hope this helps.

I have installed Solaris 11 Express and trying to restore rpool from snapshot
from another system. I could not boot of cdrom into single user mode and login
either as root nor with the privileged user added during the install. Could not
even configure interfaces with ifconfig or ipadm.
I need to boot of cdrom in single user mode , configure interface , NFS mount
the snapshot , and restore the rpool from snapshot. If I can make this work ,
I can restore the root FS from snapshot in case of Disaster or even use the
snapshot to build new systems. Is it possible to get it done in Solaris 11
Express? Why can't I login from cdrom in single user mode and configure
Interface?
I tried 2 times and both times , I have seen 2 different things. Here are the
details and output.
First time:
1. Booted of cdrom in single user.
- Allowed me login as root(role) but not as priviledged user.
- Did n't allow me to configure interfaces with either ifconfig or ipadm
[b]Second time:[/b]
2. Booted of cdrom in single user:
- Didn't allow me to login as root or priviledged user.
[u][b]Here is the output[/b][/u]
Allowed logging as root and not allowing me to configure interface either with
ifconfig or ipadm
