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)... -- Daniel da Veiga --90e6ba6153ac84d55204a35aad22 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

I did get this to work:

title Gentoo single user
kernel (hd0,0)/bzImage-2.6.38-r5-1 root=3D/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=3D/dev/sda3 softlevel=3Dboot

It appears the softlevel=3D is no longer working with the new openrc. =A0It= looks like the docs need to be updated. =A0I also tried init=3D and it doe= sn't work either.

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

Updated docs a= re 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.
