With SLES10, I had the following menu:
1 = SLES_10_SP1_2
2 = ipl
3 = failsafe
However, I experience the same problem even using failsafe. I do not see
much difference between all 3 of these options.
What parameters can I specify in /etc/zipl.conf that will force Linux boot
selection into single usermode?

Prior to your next drill, you might want to make sure your systems have an
IPL menu so that to get into single user mode a little easier by doing a
#cp vi vmsg boot# 1
where boot# is "0" for default, "1" for the first boot option in
/etc/zipl.conf, etc.
