Log in Console from failsafe mode Solaris 10
Hi there,
Is there anyway I can log in console as root from the failsafe shell prompt? I need to log in to adjust my monitor preference before the main program starts. And the log in that appears briefly before dtlogin is so quick and i can't possibly type my log in as root and all the commands befor the desktop starts. (I have like 2 seconds to do it!) Any help will be great appreciated
Many thanks,
J.J.

Try either init S from any terminal under root to get into single user mode or append -s to GRUB commandline:kernel .../multiboot -sWhen you're done, just run init 6 and the system will come up fine.HTH,Peter
