Boot Solaris x86 Into Single User Mode
Summary: How to boot solaris into single user mode.
Date: Around 2014
Refactor: 20 February 2025: Checked links and formatting.
During testing with AD LDAP Authentication for Solaris I managed to get myself locked out of the system, because of errors in the pam.conf file. I used this method to boot into single user mode so I could undo the changes in the configuration file:
- At the “GRUB” boot menu where you get the boot options press “e” to edit the boot line before the prompt times out.
- Use the arrow keys to highlight the line that starts with “kernel”
- Press “e” again to edit the line.
- Add “ -s” to the end of the line and press <ENTER>
- Press “b” to boot
