Help! Can't log-in

[Greg Hamilton]

I'd boot into single user mode. This should give you root access 
without requiring a password. From there you can reset your password, 
assuming that's all that's wrong. Otherwise straight to the log files 
and try to figure out what's killed authentication.

So, does anybody know how to startup YDL in single user mode? I'm 
guessing it's a kernel parameter entered via yaboot. Anyone? Anyone?
