Broken CF image at boot up

sbyoon

I found pfsene embedded image is easily broken due to power failuar during boot up. Below is the message from serial console when the CF image is broken.

As I searched on forum, it can be fixed with fsck -y on single user mode. I think this login prompt is for single user mode. But I cannot login with root password. Is there any special password for log in for it.

If this login prompt is not for single user mode, is there any other way to boot with single user mode with embedded version?

Thank you.****

The symlink from /cf/conf to /conf has been damaged.

Recreate the symlink and it will function again.
