Why don't you tell us why you are attempting to boot into maintenance mode? You don't have the root password? So why are you doing this? Are you the sysadmin or not?
If you give us more information we might be able to give you more direct help.
yes sysad, but only have a role as root. have to su - user with role , can not su - directly , so when in the Ilom if it asks for
Root password for system maintenance (control -d to bypass) , I don't have root so my only option is to control -d.
but when I do that I am In the run level 3.
I can get a console login,
but I don't want to patch in run level 3. that could be bad.

Allowing a random user to login to your system with root privileges without knowing the root password could also be bad. There is frequently a trade-off between safe versus secure. This is one of those cases. A system administrator responsible for taking care of a system when it is broken should always have the password(s) and access to the system needed to figure out what is going wrong on that system and to fix that system.
If you can bring up the system multi-user, login as you, su to the root role, and bring the system down to single-user mode without loging out, that might provide you with a safe environment for diagnosing and fixing your problems. If you can't do that, there isn't much we can do to help you.
