In the process of trying to stop the boot sequence right after VFS (different story), I took a closer look at '/etc/rc.d/init.d/rc' workings:
1. I created a file '/etc/sysconfig/rc.site': IPROMPT="yes" itime=10 2. In '/etc/rc.d/init.d/rc', right after read -t "${itime}" -n 1 interactive 2>&1 > /dev/null (before "fi"), I inserted these three lines: echo runlevel: $runlevel echo interactive: $interactive interactive=I NOTES 1. The above "interactive=I" was needed to force an answer read (key I) because the second line display told me there was no read. 2. My keyboard and mouse are USB ------------------------------------------------------------------------ RESULT on the screen: runlevel: S interactive: Run /etc/rc.d/rcS.d/S00mountvirtfs start (Yes/no/continue)? At this point the machine is unresponsive. Am I missing something? Should I put something in '/etc/sysconfig/modules', etc.? Etc.?
