Besides booting from a floppy/etc., there may also be an option
to boot in single user mode.


Almost all systems require the root password to boot into single user
mode these days.

Is this something you could give any precision, documentation,
track to search about ?
Not that I'd be acting as a 'negationnist' but the idea just
looks quite counter-productive (that'd be in corp world, if
in the only mostly human real-mode I'd have said "this would
be like sawing the branch you're sitting on including the
chamber of the gun laying on it aiming at your balls (OK, *and foot*)
but your mileage may worry ?-)

Er, maybe was it some FUD seen on /. or AOL ?

Good old heatwave ...
