linux init=/bin/bash
After I enter linux init=/bin/bash after lilo, I got a
console like this:
init-2.03#
Great! You are almost there.
But when I edit the file /etc/passwd, systme told me:
init-2.03# ed /etc/passwd
Read-only file system.
So I can not modify that file. How can edit that
file?
Normally at boot time the filesystem is mounted readonly just before
doing a file system check. If that passes as it will normally then
the system is remounted in a read-write state. You need to mount it
in a read-write state. I think you can just run:
mount -n -o remount,rw /
That will mount it readwrite and you will be able to edit the password
file.
