mn07 Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Okay, this is a totally noob question, and I acknowledge that, but I undertook this project to learn, so I decided to suck it up and ask this question. I have read a lot that when someone's system doesn't work anyone you can "boot -s". My system is working fine for now, so this questions is purely informational. If you could just let me know what this means and how the action is performed I'd be quite grateful. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mn07 Posted August 21, 2010 Author Share Posted August 21, 2010 haha nevermind. wow I was being a moron. Okay, but I guess my question then is, why does this help if you hare having boot problems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psyjunta Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 -s is single user mode. So if there is some problem with booting os x you get to a prompt where you can fix it. And for all the other noobs who read this thread: you just type the different boot flags at the darwin bootloader or whatever you are using. So just stop the on screen countdown by pressing the button the screen says and use commands like -s, -x or -v to boot your system differently. There are lots of threads explaining what the different boot flags mean and do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
