See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge Date: 03 Dec 1994 00:00:01 EST If the last line of /etc/inittab is a comment, init will screw up horribly. If your machine is still running, remove the comment and everything will be OK. If not, go to the miniroot, run the shell and remove the comment from there. The following sequence of commands is one possible way to do this: cd /root/etc cat inittab # Decide how many lines to remove (say three) wc inittab # See how many lines inittab has (say 120) head -117 inittab > inittab.new # Keep the first 120 - 3 lines mv inittab inittab.old mv inittab.new inittab cat inittab # Just making sure and reboot. Don't forget the 'cd'; from the miniroot's point of view, /etc/inittab is /root/etc/inittab. The problem should be fixed in IRIX 5.3.
