No, it is the mode accessed by holding cmd-s while booting. Id puts you in a shell prompt. My understanding is that your hard drive will mount automatically, but that does not seem to happen. It has no speech feedback at all, making it hard for me to play with as I need a sighted person to whom I can issue instructions. I just want to access /usr/bin/memtest, but my whole hard drive seems unavailable and I don't know why. On Jan 29, 2013, at 9:58 PM, "Phil Halton" <philh...@gmail.com> wrote:
