file consistency check - resulting errors

@stephenw10 Thank you again.
I used the serial cable to access the console but it does not say 'loader'. It says instead: Marvell>>
When I see: Marvell>> I type: boot -s
but all I get back is: Marvell>> boot -s
boot - boot default, i.e., run 'bootcmd'Usage:
boot
Marvell>>====
This where I am unable to get to the single user mode.Hoepfully someone will know what might be wrong here

type boot and then you should get:
loader>there you type boot -s like:
loader> boot -sor something. I did it this afternoon but failed to remember what I did exactly. Had the same Marvell prompt. And the above I what I believe I did. I stumbled upon this, and that is what got me through: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/125712/netgate-sg-3100-boot-loop-ufs_dirbad/4

@Cornel
Thanks for the reply. If what you did comes back to you please let me know.I tried in a few different ways bit seems like there is no documentation on this prompt which is slightly different.
Thanks again.
-
@alfaro try bootd at the Marvell prompt. Does that get you to the loader prompt?
-
@Cornel I am away from it now but will try soon. Thanks
-
@alfaro good luck, It took me a few reboots as well this afternoon and somehow managed to get in to single user mode. You will succeed!
-
@Cornel Hello, same thing. Did a quick loop and asked to press any key to stop boot and I was unable to get to single user mode.
-
@alfaro it might be that you press a key to early. You should wait for “ Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt” this comes after: “ Hit any key to stop autoboot”.
Also press space, not enter.
-
If you reach the Marvell>> prompt, which is u-boot, you intereupted it too soon.
Look at my console output above. Hit space, or anything but enter, when you see:
Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt.Then you will be at the bootloader prompt where you can boot into single user mode.
