Single User Mode (cdrom) issue

Hi,
I managed to modify all required files into my bootable cdrom, which is working fine. But when I boot it with " boot cdrom -s ", then it doesn't come up with bash (which I have put into /etc/passwd) .
However, bash works fine on remote login (when I plumb the interface and configure with right settings and telnet) .
Am I missing anything ?
Cheers
Rakesh

Anyway, the answer is add below to /sbin/rcS (onto bottom , before exit 0 )
if [ -x /sbin/bash ]; then
        SHELL=/sbin/bash
        export SHELL
        exec /sbin/bash --login
else
        echo "/bin/bash not found using default shell of $SHELL"
fi

  • How to mount USB & CDROM drives from single user mode - Solaris boot disk?

    Hi All,
    I need to carry out ufsrestore on a single newly replaced system disk (no redundancy / mirroring) from either USB or CDROM drives from the following steps:
    ( i ) GRUB => e, e, cdrom –s, Enter, b (boot from Solaris 10 x86 media).
    ( ii ) Choose menu 1 for Install Solaris Interactive Mode to reach single user mode.Below are the commands that I have tried in single user mode without success:
    mount –r –F pcfs /dev/dsk/c1t0d0p0 /cdrom (after unmount Solaris CD)
      mount: /dev/dsk/c1t0d0p0 is not a DOS filesystem.
    svcadm –v enable smserver
      svcadm: Pattern ‘smserver’ doesn’t match any instances
    svcadm enable autofs
      svcadm: Pattern ‘autofs’ doesn’t match any instances
    devfsadm
      devfsadm: mkdir failed for /dev 0s1ed: Read-only file system
    mkdir /mnt
      mkdir: Failed to make directory “/mnt”; Read-only file systemPart of the problem is due to the current READ ONLY filesystems which does not allow the creation of mount point such as /mnt.
    I have been able to create both / root (/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0) and /export/home (/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0) filesystems with newfs that are awaiting for restore using ufsrestore.
    The only option I am left with is to attach a secondary disk to install Solaris 10 on either of them before bring the system to multi-user mode so that service such as volmgt, autofs, volfs are available to access USB & CDROM drives.
    Any suggestion on how to resolve this issue?
    Many thanks,
    Jack

    Hi JKGN,
    Is the directory a located under the root filesystem. ie /a? Are there any other mount point for say USB drive as well? I am not in a position to try it out right now but will get back
    to you soon on whether /a exist or not.
    Btw, the last thing I managed to do on this system at the time was added a secondary 1TB internal disk with the intention to restore both / and /export/home data onto this disk while
    making use of all the disk device management services such as the following services only available in a fully installed Solaris system (both single & multi-user modes) installed on the
    primary disk:
    # svcs smserver

    As a result, I am left with no option but the need to rebuild this system with only a single primary disk while in single user mode. However, the single user mode that I am in is the
    one from Solaris installation disk with restrictive (_cannot create folder for mount point or running disk management utilities_) capability such as those services just covered, compared to one from a completed Solaris installation system with full access to all filesystems and utilities / commands in general.
    I would very much value your assistance on how to mount both CD & USB in this restrictive limited Read Only OS (assume that it is running from memory) in order to get complete access to
    the blank primary disk so that full restore with ufsrestore could take place.
    Thanks in advance,
    Jack

  • Unable to boot from cdrom in single user mode

    I have lost the root password for solaris 9.So, I tried booting the system with solaris 8 CD in single user mode(i.e, at ok prompt, boot cdrom -s)
    But I get the following error.
    rebooting with command :boot cdrom -s
    boot device :/pci&#64;1e,600000/ide&#64;d/cdrom&#64;0,0:f file and args -s
    boot:cannot open kernel/sparcv9/unix
    Enter filename:&#91;kernel/sparcv9/unix&#93;:
    Please let me know why is this error?.Is it becos the CD is corrupted?

    Also, the particular Solaris 8 you've chosen could be a distribution that's too old for your particular computer's design.
    For example, a Sunfire V440 would need Solaris 8 HW 7/03 or newer.
    http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub/Systems/SunFireV440/Sun FireV440.html
    Solaris 8 HW 2/02 would not work.
    What model system, and what version Solaris are you trying to use?

  • Network driver attachment booting cdrom single user mode

    I am attempting to boot from cdrom in single user mode and reach some network shares. However, when I boot cdrom, the server does not attach the network drivers, meaning I cannot plumb up any of my interfaces.
    Now, I should add that we have an XVR-300 card in an XAUI PCI-E slot. I read somewhere that this can disable one of your network ports, but shouldn't it still see the other ports and attach the network drivers?
    Any body have any ideas or anything I could try?
    Thanks!

  • Imac won't start up n issues in single user mode

    Imac won't start up after long time 'frazing' of Firefox. Manual start up ended up in the grey screen forever'processing' icon.
    Had a look at other solutions, unable to enter safe mode. Someone mentioned to try single user mode and it went through half way  with error messages on the screen which has no command line available for me to key in any letter.
    My Imac has been out of warranty coverage for a while, how do I know if it's hard ware problems before paying for service?
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Alice

    Yes, I have backed up and deleted old files using target disk mode with an old macbook.  It's just the larger files I didn't have enough space and disks for.  I really appreciate your help on this as I've never had any mac issues before this so am not really sure what to look for.

  • Fan issues after entering Single User mode

    Earlier, I went into Single User mode to run an application called Applejack. When my computer first loaded up, my fan became twice as loud as it normally does. I figured that would return to normal once I restarted my computer, but when I went back to my usual setup my fan is still incredibly loud. I attempted to restart my computer again, but that didn't help. Is there anything I can do to fix this?
    Just to clarify a few things, the fan begun to act up as soon as I entered Single User mode. I've tried looking into my System Preferences settings, but changing my Processor Performance doesn't seem to do anything unless there's something I need to do along with changing the setting. Thanks in advance!

    And just to be clear, in Single User Mode the computer's feedback about temps is not functioning... so your Mac assumes the worst, and keeps those suckers going full blast.
    I find this to be the case when it has crashed and I re-start in SUM. But if I shutdown normally, usually you can start in SUM and be ok fan noise wise.

  • Data back up from Single User Mode

    Hello,
    I have a problem with my 700 MHz iBook, dual USB, with OS X 10.3.9.
    Unfortunately the OS doesn't start up because of "overlapped extent allocation" problem...
    I would like to re-install the complete OS but before doing it, I would like to back up some directories.
    Is it possible to save some data, by connecting an Ipod or some sort of external peripheral, from the Single User mode?
    If yes, how can I do it?
    Thank you in advance from your kind support.

    Before giving up the ghost check out these:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25770.
    Manually fix Overlapped Extent Allocation Errors without Disk Warrior
    Overlapped overlapped extent allocation errors can be the bane of any Mac user's existence. Often, these errors go unnoticed until the problem becomes visible: your Mac might refuse to boot, crash unexpected, or worse, critical data might disappear from the Finder. Disk Utility can detect, but not fix overlapped extent allocation errors, and certain third-party utilities, such as Alsoft Diskwarrior, can fix them, but generally without reporting the consequences.
    Overlapped extent allocation error occur when the file system thinks that two files are occupying the same area on the hard disk, hence overlapping on the same "inode," which is the structure which holds the location of the data blocks the file occupies, and also file permissions and flags.
    Clearing the "overlapped" or "overallocated" extent allocation essentially means that you'll have to lose some data, because the only way to remove the overlap is to delete the file that's occupying the inode. So, if you suspect, or find out, that the guilty file is a critical system file that resides in one of the hidden system directories such as /etc /var /usr/ or visible system directories such as /System or /Library, and you don't want to reinstall the whole OS (which might not fix the overlapped extent allocation anyway), it's good to have another disk available to copy the files back to your original disk if necessary: a second bootable hard drive or a firewire drive connected to your Mac when you remove the misbehaving file. Just make sure that when you copy the file back to your boot disk that the permissions are correct, so it's best to use the "ditto" command, so that all sticky bits, flags, and permissions are preserved.
    In case you didn't know, you don't have to boot from an install CD in order to check for overlapped extent allocations. All you need to do is restart your Mac, while holding down command + S to boot in "single-user mode."
    At the command prompt that appears, type:
    $ fsck -fy
    If you have an overlapped extent allocation, you'll see:
    "Overlapped Extent Allocation" (File 123456d)
    No matter how many times you run fsck -fy, you'll never be rid of the error.
    So, simply issue the following command:
    find / -inum 123456 -print
    Note the "d" was dropped, or any extra letter that appears after the inode number.
    The find will return a file name that matches with the inode number, and the path to that file. If you remove the file then the fsck will not return this error next time you run it.
    However, before you can delete the file(s) in single-user mode, you'll need to mount the file system. Type:
    $ mount -uw /
    When done, issue the "sync" command, and that will flush the write cache so that all pending writes are written from memory to the disk. Also, since most OS X 10.3 Macs use the HFS+ Journaled file system, it might be a good idea to disable the journal before booting into single-user mode by typing:
    $ sudo diskutil disableJournal /
    then re-enable it when done fixing the overlapped extents and rebooting normally:
    $ sudo diskutil enableJournal /

    If you own Disk Warrior then it should be able to repair a drive with overlapped extents.
    There are two backup utilities included in Unix - psync and rsync. You will find them in the /usr/bin/ directory. For documentation simply enter: man psync or man rsync. In order to write data while in single-user mode you need to issue the command: /sbin/mount/ -uw / (Note: there is a "space" between the "uw" and the "/".) To mount an external drive you will need to provide the mountpoint for it in place of the "/", e.g., "/Volumes/volname") without the quotes.

  • Kernel panic on MacPro in Single-User mode after memtest.

    I've had about 7 kernel panics in about 7 days on a new MacPro. 2 gigs of RAM (Apple Installed). Fresh install of OSX (no user import). While going through the troubleshooting process I ran memtest in single user mode. Ran it all night no errors.
    So in the morning I typed ctrl-c and then exit (i think)... it seemed to start the process of booting and I got another kernal panic. I've actually done this three times now.
    I checked panic.log and all the error messages but 1 were the same. Including the ones I got in single-user mode (copied below).
    Should I be able to gracefully exit out of single-user mode without a kernel panic?
    Does this point to a RAM error even though memtest and AHD for that matter ran all night without finding anything?
    I'm all set to try again (taking careful notes this time) to see if I can reproduce but I was hoping for some feedback first.
    Thanks,

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Yes, your memory or memory slot, or memory seating is bad or off. "Uncorrectable Fbd memory error detected. ferr = 20000000 , nerr == 00000000, fErrFat = 20000000 nErrFat == 00000000"
    Clearly a memory related issue. It may also be that memtest doesn't know how to diagnose the new kind of memory and is reporting that back to the logs. Take it in to a service center to have all the boards replaced to make sure the issue isn't reproduceable with new memory. If it is, then I'd consider the slots on the logicboard a problem.

  • Single-User Mode Copying Files/System Does not Boot Past Apple Logo Screen

    I have a Macbook 2.0GHZ, 2GB RAM, that recently tried to download a secuirty and keynot update. Following the download the system will no longer boot past the Apple Logo Screen with the spinning wheel. I do not have access to a OS disk yet or to a firewire cable either. I've have seen posts from others that describe how to use traget disk mode to reinstall the secuirty update manually and then they can boot their computer. Safe mode will not work. I did boot into single-user mode and run the disk utility there and it says my HD is OK. Since I do not have a firewire or an OS Disk, I am wondering if there is a way to copy those files i need to a USB pen stick then install them onto the computer via single-user mode, considering this is the only way I can boot and manipulate the machine at this time. If this is not possible please let me know so I can find a way to scrounge up a firewire cable or disk. Thank you in advance for any assistance.
    Ted K

    Thanks to Limnos and BDAqua I know you guys have helped others with these kind of problems from the other posts I read. I just want to list what I did exactly in case anyone wants to try to do this with a usb drive or does not have access to a boot disk or firewire cable.
    1: Install security update on a pen drive
    2: Boot in single user mode, CMD-S on startup
    3: /sbin/mount -uw /
    4: mkdir /Volumes/usb (usb can be any name, name of usb drive or anything you want)
    5: ls /dev (you need to get the drive listing for the usb drive to mount it appropriately, it should be disk#s# but this is close to what the HD and Cd drives are listed as so you may need to list once before you put the usb stick in and once ater. I had issues inserting the usb drive in single-user mode and it would freeze up the root drive)
    6: /sbin/mount_msdos /dev/disk1s1 /Volumes/usb (this mounts the usb drive, i had to use msdos because of how my usb drive was formatted, you may need to check your usb drive format, hfs is the apple format for usb drives but it did not work for me)
    7: cp /Volumes/usb/SecUpd2009-001Intel.dmg (this copies the files from the usb drive to the root drivel, at this point you no longer need the usb drive)
    8: hdiutil mount /SecUpd2009-001Intel.dmg (this mounts the disk image)
    9: cd /Volumes/"Security Update 2009-001" (after i mounted the image this is how it appeared in the Volumes directory, you might need to do ls /Volumes to get the name, the quotes are important to get the whole file directory changed)
    10: installer -pkg SecUpd2009-001Intel.pkg -target / (this installs the acutal update, i used the SecUpd2009-001Intel.pkg and it worked though I think you might be able to use "Security Update 2009-001" with quotes as well.)
    11: reboot
    i hope this helps anyone looking to do this. Thanks again to those who helpes and all the other posts that had information that helped me identify and then fix my issue! I still love my mac.

  • Single-user mode

    When I start up my computer and I want to get into single-user mode, it just goes to regular login.  Is there another way apart from command s or does something need to be changed.  Yes, I can access my computer, I just want to make an administer account without the disk.

    Well you should not have killed it. Rollback might take much more time than same query would while running normally. I would say wait. DONT RESTART SQL SERVER SERVICE or take Database offline
    What was query was linked server used in query. Was it distributed transaction ? If it was simple query it would take time but SQL Server would roll it back

  • Single user mode, Lost Admin Account, and Disk Permissions

    Okay, so I have quite a few issues here. I will start from the beginning.
    About a week ago, I tried to install some updates and I could not get the Admin account to work. I went to the users profile and noticed my Admin account was not there. Did a quick search and found Apple's outline of how to fix this via the Operational DVD and the root user. Tried this and it would never work, because as soon as I restarted the computer or changed screens it switched back to a standard account.
    Next up, I went into the terminal to check the Admin User group. As it turns out it is not there. So I find a discussion on there that outlines how to rebuild this in single user mode and the Unix prompt. So, I print it off and try to restart in single user mode. After trying two different keyboards and a sum total of 8 to 10 times, I can't restart in single user mode to get to the Unix prompt.
    One last thing, last night I went into the Disk Utility on the start-up DVD. I wanted to check the Repair Permission log and I got the following:
    ACL found but not expected on "private/var/root/Library/Preferences"
    ACL found but not expected on "private/var/root/Library/"
    ACL found but not expected on "Network"
    Thoughts?
    Thanks for your help!
    tpp

    first, the ACL messages can be ignored. if you can't get to single user mode you can't fix your admin group. the only reasons that I know why you wouldn't be able to do that is
    1. a defective keyboard
    2. you have a firmware password set. have you? you'd have to turn it off before you can get to single user mode.
    lastly when you restart in single user mode make sure you press command+s right after you hear the chime. do not press it too early or too late. lastly, I'm not sure which instructions you've found to fix the admin group but I have them in this thread

  • Single-user mode: How to mount and access an external USB drive?

    My MacBook Pro HD is acting up. Cannot boot normally or into "safe mode". Cannot reinstall OS without wiping out the HD. Need to recover some critical files but DiskUtil First Aid and Restore options cannot successfully complete. Problem traced down to "invalid node structure" which means I either have a hardware problem or my filesystem partition directory structure is corrupted. I need to recover some files that are not backed up (timin issue with my regular backup process).
    I can boot into single-user mode, mount the root file system (/sbin/mount -uw /) and can see/navigate the rot filesystem structure via good UNIX command line. Here's what I would like to do (in single-user mode):
    1. Mount an external USB drive (250 GB already formatted as Mac OS X Extended)
    2. Copy various files and/or directories from my HD to the external USB drive (UNIX cp command)
    I realize I could go spend $$ for the Disk Warrior or Data Rescue products (or something similar) that SHOULD help me recover my HD or files, but it seems silly to do this when I can see, touch and taste them from within single-user mode....
    Comments? Suggestions?
    TIA --
    Trent
    P.S. Once I've recovered my files, I'll try to reformat the HD and then reinstall the OS. And THEN go have Apple look at my machine (thank goodness for AppleCare coverage)!

    Resolution:
    1) Boot system in single-user mode (SUM) with external HD attached.
    2) Execute the following UNIX CLI commands once SUM boot process is completed:
    # fsck -fy
    # mount -uw /
    # mkdir /Volumes/target_directory
    # mount -t hfs -w /dev/diskXXX /Volumes/target_directory
    # cp -RXv /source_directory /Volumes/target_directory
    Where XXX is the device-level name for your external HD's data partition. In my case this was /dev/disk1s2. It may take some experimentation to identify this device name if your system has multiple HD's.
    3) Verify contents were successfully copied onto the /Volumes/target_directory.
    Comments and observations:
    - Do NOT use "/" as your source directory - cp will make a second (redundant) copy of /volumes/target_directory
    - I was able to successfully copy ALL files off my HD despite the fsck command's "invalid node structure" error message with this simple procedure. YMMV, depending on the state of your HD.
    - The repeated disk0s2: I/O error warnings displayed during the SUM boot process did not seem to have a negative effect on this procedure. I also received this same error warning intermittently as I navigated the mounted filesystem did not seem to be a problem, either. Again, YMMV.
    Commercial software:
    I downloaded ProSoft Engineering's Data Rescue 3 product (trial version) before spending $99 to attempt to recover my "bad" HD's data via mounting to a good system with FW target mode. It could not successfully complete its "QuickScan" process and immediately hung on block 0 of 390M during its "Deep Scan" process. The product did seem to function properly on an operational system. ProSoft's technical support was responsive and helpful but had no answer for my "Deep Scan" error.
    I did not attempt to use Alsoft's Disk Warrior 4 product. I could not find any trial software available and was reluctant to spend $100 based upon the mixed reviews and comments on this discussion forum as well as other reviews. Alsoft does claim to address the "invalid node structure" error in their marketing materials. Hindsight being 20/20 - I saved $100 by using this simple procedure.
    Final note:
    Neither Leopard nor Snow Leopard's installation DVD could recognize the bad internal HD when trying to do a reinstall. While DiskUtil was able to "see" the bad internal drive it immediately failed when I tried to do an "erase and format". Took the system to my local Apple store and the Genius ran a tool called "SMART Utility" from Volitans Software (www.volitans-software.com). SMART utility confirmed that my HD was bad so it was replaced. AppleCare pays for itself (once again!).

  • Single user mode locks up hard

    Is anyone else having this type of problem? I had it with both Panther and now also with Tiger. I've filed a bug on this with apple, but they closed it citing the usual "you have third party ram" argument. The ram has zero issues with anything else and I've done some very extensive testing of it (running remember for 72+ hours without a single fault).
    Basically what happens is within 2 seconds of getting the root shell prompt in single user mode it locks up. By lock up I mean that the keyboard is locked out and no method of input works. Funny enough if there was a key pressed down when this happens the key keeps repeating, even if I unplug the keyboard.
    This machine seems to be kind of haunted (have other problems with it as well, all registered with Apple) but I can't get them to replace it.
    Just looking to see if I'm the only one with this problem or not ....
    TIA

    Are you using a Bluetooth keyboard? Some people have reported being unable to type in Single User mode with a Bluetooth keyboard, even though everything else works normally.

  • Errors while Changing the Database to Mutli User Mode from Single user mode in SQL Server 2012

    Hi,
    Good Afternoon :).  Need your help in resolving one of the issue with SQL Server 2012.
    Today, we kept one of the database in the Single User mode and wanted to bring back to Multi User mode.  But we are getting the below error.  There are no user sessions connected to this database which are blocking each other.  I see multiple
    SYSTEM sessions are in blocked state.  The blocking is not cleared even affter restarting the SQL services.
    Verified the SQL Server Errorlog and couldnt get much useful information to troubleshoot the issue.
    pasted the information from the sys.sysprocesses as well for your kind reference.
    Msg 1205, Level 13, State 68, Line 1
    Transaction (Process ID 55) was deadlocked on lock resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction.
    Msg 5069, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

    Clearly 36 and 37 are causing deadlock.

  • Freezing with blue screen & can't boot from single user mode or disk

    My keyboard is wired and plugged directly into my Intel iMac running OSX 10.5.8. I do not have the Leopard disks, but I do have the Tiger disks. I was trying to boot in single-user mode so that I could run AppleJack to try to fix another issue I'm having--I get the light blue startup screen flashed at me several times daily for the past week or so. When the blue screen flashes, it totally freezes my computer (obviously) and lasts from 1-10 seconds. I can't find anything that is triggering it. I haven't installed anything new that I'm aware of, and it happens whether the computer has previously been slept or not. I'm also not using an external display / additional monitor.
    Also, for anyone who is nice enough to answer, please explain everything--I'm not an expert user.

    Well since it is so time consuming and a security risk to turn off FileVault, I was hoping to hear from someone with more experience if this was the solution, or just something to "try"? Are you speaking from experience or just making a suggestion, leroydouglas? Thanks.
