>Description:
Option 2 on the boot menu to boot into single user mode doesn't work. The command it tries is "boot -s" which doesn't seem to have worked for some time now.


>How-To-Repeat:
Boot an evbarm and press "2" when prompted.

     1. Boot normally
     2. Boot single user
     3. Drop to boot prompt

Choose an option; RETURN for default; SPACE to stop countdown.
Option 1 will be chosen in 0 seconds.     
open -s: No such file or directory
boot: -s: No such file or directory

Choose an option; RETURN for default; SPACE to stop countdown.
Option 1 will be chosen in 0 seconds.     
type "?" or "help" for help.

>Fix:
Maybe just update boot.cfg?

I don't know whether the boot loader is wrong or the boot command is wrong.
