salaku Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Hi, I installed X86 dual booting fine with Windows XP. I use acronis as my boot loader. Question is how to boot to single user and stay in command line. When I pick X86 in acronis it boots straight to login screen and there is no option of entering -x -s or anything. I use Microsoft USB keyboard. I followed full DVD install. Please assist.

LlamaGuy Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 While you're selecting OS X from your boot loader, spam F8. F8 is OS X's signal to show the little prompt where you can type in -s. There's also a plist that you can configure to show the prompt always.
