I have a similar entry, but have never used the softlevel= flag, I simply append "single" at the end of the kernel call and it boots in single user (root password or ctrl+d to continue).


I did get this to work:

title Gentoo single user
kernel (hd0,0)/bzImage-2.6.38-r5-1 root=/dev/sda3 rw single

So, all I need now is to figure out how to get this work:


title Gentoo boot level
kernel (hd0,0)/bzImage-2.6.38-r5-1 root=/dev/sda3 softlevel=boot

It appears the softlevel= is no longer working with the new openrc.  It looks like the docs need to be updated.  I also tried init= and it doesn't work either.

Time to go farther up the food chain I guess. The docs need to be changed at least.

Updated docs are always good, but I wonder why do you need this.
If I need single user I simply press "e", edit the line and add single, followed by a "b" to boot. That is a for maintenance only so I really don't see a need for it at grub menu, same wth the other runlevels, all you gotta do is append "nox" or use Interactive (again, this is only if something is broken, I can't see myself doing this twice in a week)...

The thing is, I do use them which is why I went to the trouble of setting them up to begin with.  I actually use them pretty regular.  Just because others don't use them doesn't mean that I don't or shouldn't. 

I tried to use them is how I figured out it didn't work anymore.  That alone shows that I use them for various reasons.  This update is less than a week old and I already found out that this doesn't work anymore.  I just want to figure out how it works with openrc which it appears no one has a answer and the docs are wrong as well. 

Thanks.
