Hmmmzz I see I suppose only such kind of functions but I pressed it again but
I didnt turn normal mode. Pausing system Maybe; I pushed a lots of dangerous
key and you have a point there it sent a system so rebooted.

you are right but my system hasn't boot neither single user mode or multiple
user mode. So I was try and try again never boot
system so single user mode didn't functionally well.

If it is boot I will do it but boot procees is freezing at the end of

"amrd0: <LSILogic MegaRAID logical drive> on amr0
amrd0: 34708MB (71081984 sectors) RAID 5 (optimal)
Mounting root from ufs:/dev/amrd0s1a"

as I said before..

by the way I have tried again boot floopy, mfsroot floppy at the end of my this
process now server cant find operating system :'(

Thanks a lot..
