Last night I tried and tried to get my system to come up in single user mode (so I could do some major filesystem changes). I couldn't get it to come up single-user. I tried booting from the original install boot floppy, and to my surprise it booted up my kernel on the hard disk?!?!?!
I couldn't find the solution in the docs anywhere. Can anyone tell me what I should be doing? For background, I need to change the size of some partitions, so I need to copy whole partitions to a temporary location while I re-do the partition table on the target disk. I hope to avoid having to re-install from tape or from scratch this way. Thanks!
