Shalom,

specify a kernel and try:

boot single

boot emergency

The procedure should be:

Stop the grub autoboot.
Press "a" key
Type "single"
Press Enter.

Hi

Boot from cd and then do the following:
linux rescue
chroot /mnt/sysconfig
grub-install /dev/hda1
reboot

then try entering single user mode.

Clarification.

Real Answer:

It depends:

It depends on your distribution (RH I assume, but you should state it explicity)

It depends on the Version of RH, again, you should state it, just because you are using the 7.3 manual does not mean it will work with 8.


It depends on your boot loader.

LILO wold be different than grub.
