Unfortunately it won't boot into single user mode. I can boot back into nv86 with the grub prompt options though.
What file is the version number stored in? I will have a go at mounting the newer image and see if I can extract it. I did have a couple of failed pkg updates due to timeouts so I don't know if a configuration file somewhere might have got messed up? 2008/11/5 Anon Y Mous <system5unix at yahoo.com> Do you know what build you upgraded into when you did the image update? > > See if you can boot up into text mode or single user mode (-s appended in > grub) and run this command: > > uname -a > > and post the results in this thread. > > Also try running these commands: > > pfexec scanpci > > prtdiag -v > > psrinfo -pv > > and let us know what the output is. > > Maybe another possible option is you can boot off the live CD and roll back > to build 86.
