[Debian] How to enter single user mode?
#2
Yes, I would like to know how too
>I tried typing "init 1" and I got a black screen
Just asking, were you in a vt or xterm?
I would not expect it to work in a xterm
You can use rsync, I made a copy of stock with rsync,,
dd the 1st 16M, fdisk to fix part table, make fs, mount
cd to part1 ,, rsync -a /boot .
cd part2 mkdir proc, dev, sys, run (empty directories, don't rsync)
rsync -a (all the rest, 1 at a time) . (rsync -a /bin . ,,, and so on)
To have X not active, reboot, don't login, change to vt, login there (as root)
You likely will have to manually do mount of nvme, and make a fstab
