Full Discussion: Booting to Command Prompt
Operating Systems SCO Booting to Command Prompt Post 302941243 by jgt on Tuesday 14th of April 2015 11:36:25 AM

Assuming that you have the root password.
When you see the "boot:" prompt, press enter before it continues with the boot automatically. You will then be asked for the current date and time, and whether you want to start in single user mode or multiuser.
If you want single user, then you should enter the root password, otherwise enter <ctrl>d to enter multiuser.
After you have entered single user mode, you may have to issue a "mountall" command to mount additional file systems (/u).

In anticipation of your next question, do you know if the system has the Host version of Openserver, or the Enterprise version.
If you have the Enterprise version, you can use ftp to move the data.
If you have Host, however, you will probably have to install a second disk with a DOS file system and then remove the disk after copying the data to it.

sulogin

sulogin(1M)						  System Administration Commands					       sulogin(1M)

NAME

       sulogin - access single-user mode

SYNOPSIS

       sulogin

DESCRIPTION

       The  sulogin  utility  is  automatically invoked by init when the system is first started. It prompts the user to type the root password to
       enter system maintenance mode (single-user mode) or to type  EOF (typically <CTRL-D>) for normal startup (multi-user mode). The user should
       never directly invoke sulogin.

       The  sulogin utility can prompt the user to enter the root password on a variable number of serial console devices, in addition to the tra-
       ditional console device. See consadm(1M) and msglog(7D) for a description of how to configure a serial device to  display  the  single-user
       login prompt.

FILES

       /etc/default/sulogin    Default value can be set for the following flag:

			       PASSREQ	       Determines if login requires a password. Default is PASSREQ=YES.

       /etc/default/login      Default value can be set for the following flag:

			       SLEEPTIME       If  present,  sets  the number of seconds to wait before login failure is printed to the screen and
					       another login attempt is allowed. Default is 4 seconds. Minimum is 0 seconds. Maximum is 5 seconds.

					       Both su(1M) and login(1) are affected by the value of SLEEPTIME.
