NetBSD snoid 4.99.70 NetBSD 4.99.70 (GGM) #3: Tue Jul 22 00:29:07 EST 2008
ggm@snoid:/usr/obj/sys/arch/i386/compile/GGM i386
>Description:
reboot -- -s is meant to pass the -s flag to the boot. My hope was this would
translate to a boot -s single user.
It looks like if you have /boot.cfg, then flags passed across the boot are
silently ignored.
-G
>How-To-Repeat:
have /boot.cfg with a menu. try and send a boot -s across a reboot
>Fix:
not sure. should the .cfg check code always check if an argument was passed
across boot?
which should take priority anyway?
if reboot -- -s can't work on i386 then maybe the man page should be updated
instead?
