There is not true 'single user mode' on the apollo. The equivalent is the 
phase II boot shell. You have to find the service/normal switch and put it
in the service postion. power on the machine and type
ex domain_os <OR>
ex aegis

This will boot to the phase II boot shell. You have pretty limited
functionality at this point. You can get a 'unix' shell by typing
'sh'. However, you will need an account and a password to do anything
further.

Hope this helps.
