Zaurus Run Levels

0	halt
1	single user mode
2	multiuser, without networking
3	full multiuser mode
4	unused ??
5	qtopia
6	reboot

To boot to run level 3

1. Reboot
2. When you see Wait ...1 Hit the __/__ key (left of the space bar)
3. Then option choose __a__
4. Then login a the prompt with a user (zaurus or root) and normal password

• not sure what the other options do

To boot to run level 1

1. Reboot
2. When the screen goes blank hold down the __b__ and __d__ keys (Question: is that model specific?)
3. Hopefully it will boot to a prompt, if not try again (this can take a few times to get it to work)
4. Login in with root and a blank password

• you can use run level 1 to reset your root password. After logging in just type passwd and enter a new one.

• Its also useful if you deleted or corrupted the passwd file. It will be located at /home/etc/passwd just edit to correct the mistake.

Switching run levels

the init command is used to switch run levels. must be root to use it.

init 3

would switch to run level 3
