Sorry - after clicking send, I realized you probably meant - how do I boot single-user from inside grub? In that case select the Solaris entry from the grub menu and enter "e" to edit it. Then edit the "kernel" line, as below, to pass the -s option to the kernel:

kernel /platform/i86pc/multiboot kernel/unix -s

Hope this helps,

rob

Try adding an entry like this to /boot/grub/menu.lst (of course, substitute the device in the "root" line for what's appropriate on your hardware)

title Solaris 11 (single-user)
root (hd0,1,a)
kernel /platform/i86pc/multiboot kernel/unix -s
module /platform/i86pc/boot_archive

How the heck do I boot single-user when using Solaris x86 w/GRUB?

I need to disable the GUI login and stay in text mode, otherwise I get
thrown into a "cant display this video mode" brick wall.
