Hi All,


I have a server that has console redirection on, and in /boot.config we 
have '-Dh'. But now for the life of me I cannot boot into single user 
mode with a physically connected keyboard and monitor.


I get to the boot: prompt. From here '-s' makes it boot to multiuser.


Any ideas? I have searched for similar scenarios, but no joy.



Cheers,
-Jev
