[SOLVED] Single User Shell launches every time

Finger79

2.4.0-RC 10/8/2017

I was troubleshooting a pkg update issue and booted into Single User Mode once. Ever since then, I get a Single User shell opening every boot. I've tried everything from the boot Menu: Hitting "1" or "Enter" for Multi User Mode doesn't work.

Screenshot shows the screen I get. I have to hit Enter then type "exit" before the system boots up into Multi-User Mode.

How did you boot into single user mode?

If you used the reboot menu option, run this command at a shell prompt after booting up pfSense all the way:

nextboot -D

Also you should be on the snapshot from the 9th, see https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=137682.msg753525#msg753525 and you'll probably have to force everything to upgrade, a reinstall may be safer.

Thanks, nextboot -D cleared up the single user shell auto-loading.

The 10/8 snapshot's been giving me hell, so I had to reinstall with the 10/9 snapshot. Successfully upgraded to 2.4.0-RELEASE after that.
