Hi, Here is an example of zipl.conf file that works pretty well with a SLES9 installation :
[defaultboot] defaultmenu = menu1 [default] target = /boot/zipl image = /boot/image ramdisk = /boot/initrd parameters = "root=/dev/dasda1 selinux=0 TERM=dumb elevator=cfq" [single] target = /boot/zipl image = /boot/image ramdisk = /boot/initrd parameters = "root=/dev/dasda1 selinux=0 TERM=dumb elevator=cfq 1" [dumpdasd] target = /boot/zipl dumpto = /dev/dasd?? [dumptape] target = /boot/zipl dumpto = /dev/rtibm0 :menu1 target=/boot/zipl 1 = default 2 = single default = 1 prompt = 1 timeout = 60 The only difference between my single and default entries is the "1" added at the end of the parameters. It will start Linux in single user mode (runlevel 1). When I ipl the Linux machine, I need to enter #cp vi vmsg 2 to start in single mode, as the menu item is number 2. To boot normally, I wait 60 seconds or enter #cp vi vmsg 1. You can adjust the timeout to a lesser value if needed. I hope this can help you.
