In my particular case, SLES 9, SP3. However, the "single" kernel parameter
has been around in Redhat since at least the 4.x days and IIRC, SuSe
started as a Redhat fork (or I'm mixing up with Turbolinux).

Other distros have their own method of indicating single user, Gentoo for
example uses "softlevel=single". Some distros support passing the init
runlevel as well (ie "1" for single user or more precisely runleve 1).
