(10/02/15) *REALLY* flipping old.  I can't remember when linux bailed from 
LILO in favor of grub, but I know it's been awhile... I'm getting old...

There's a couple of ways to get into single user mode. # init 1 works like 
it does on all systems. What I'm more concerned with is how to boot into 
single user mode in case I have to fix problems.

You can supply one of two flags to the LILO boot sequence. For the sake of 
arugment, the default lilo boot lable is ${l}

#. LILO: ${l} single

   Boots the syste into single user mode, after executing most of the bootup 
   rc scripts. Looks like the only ones not run are network related.

#. LILO: ${l} emergency

   Boots the system straight into single user mode without running any of 
   the startup scripts.
