I need to recover an old Tru64 4.0e system on a Compaq Au500 server. It has several disks that won't FSCK and I need to bring it up so I can comment them out of the fstab file so I can hopefully make the machine healthy again. I have the Operating system CD and I know that I can boot the system from it but I'm very rusty on my DEC/Tru64 skills ( I still think of it as DEC and Ultrix/DECUnix but that shows my age :-)) and When I boot from the CD it wants to reinstall the system. So how do I get the system to just come up in single user mode so I can mount the root filesystem and move my minimal fstab file in place to bring the system up. I know I'm probably going to be reinstalling the filesystems on the bad disks from tapes ( I have two sets of btcreate tapes) So is it an option to the boot command at the >>> prompt or something I need to do after it boots up off the CD?
