Is it still possible to boot into 'single' mode,
ie directly into a no-login root system (for emergencies) ?

The kernel dox suggest this should work in Lilo

  image = /boot/kernel-2.6.9-gentoo-r1
        label = Single
        root = /dev/hda3
        append="S"
        read-only

but it boots to a login prompt as usual.
Replacing 'S' with 'single' doesn't work either.

Does anyone have single mode set up satisfactorily ?
