if you delete stuff, it will just prompt you for it.  Which is good.

Subject: Re: [LINUX-390] Quick question on single user mode

Hello and thanks for all the help.  I am trying to put together a rescue 
system, we have some parms we used for upgrading our system and I think I would 
have to change "upgrade=1" to "rescue=1".

What I would like to do is via ssh:

1. fix root password
2. verify vg name and lv for our xfs root file systems (/usr /var /home /opt 
/tmp)
3. Possibly run mkinitrd

ramdisk_size=131072 root=/dev/ram1 ro init=/linuxrc TERM=dumb upgrade=1 
<<change this to rescue=1 or delete?
ReadChannel=0.0.0600 WriteChannel=0.0.0601 DataChannel=0.0.0602
InstNetDev=osa Layer2=1 OSAInterface=qdio PortNo=
Hostname=nbxav0100.bcbsm.com HostIP=10.96.1.200 Gateway=10.96.1.1
Netmask=255.255.255.0 Nameserver=10.64.65.48 Domain=bcbsm.com
Install=nfs://10.96.1.186/srv/nfs/SLE-12-SP3-Server-DVD-s390x-GM-DVD1 <<delete 
this?
UseVNC=1 VNCPassword=12345678 UseSSH=1 SSHPassword=12345678

Mark,

I was able not to specify password and fix my SLES issues. the disks are 
mounted but the file system is organized differently. If I remember correctly, 
I reach such pages because I didn't have the root password. not sure thi is the 
OP issue.
