Problem with single-user mode on Cube
I am trying to boot up in single-user mode on a Cube. I hold down Command-S and get to the prompt. However, the computer does not respond to anything I type. Strangely, if I disconnect and reconnect the keyboard, messages appear which seem to indicate that a HP printer is being plugged in. Any ideas?

can you try with another keyboard?
Have you disconnected all your other USB devices?
What are you trying to achieve by starting in single user mode?
qazil, I think the real hint there is the bit about an HP printer. Sounds like something on the USB device driver side has got confused. During the initial boot, was there a message about a keyboard being recognised?
