Hi Narendra,

I think that when you're booting in failsafe, you're booting off the 
miniroot which doesn't have all that is needed to boot in single-user
mode.

You're better off booting with milestone = none and then run
svcadm enable -rt filesystem/local. I don't recommend using the
-s flag in this situation, so you can monitor what the system is
doing via the CLI.
