What is the existing OS? For OpenVMS, the OpenVMS FAQ has the procedure at
http://www.google.com/search?q=OpenVMS+FAQ, for NetBSD try
http://www.google.com/search?q=VAX+"single user". No experience with 4.3,
but I might try http://www.google.com/search?q=4.3+BSD+"single user" if I
was feeling dangerous.

on some systems.. the "-s" will be passed to the boot loader itself,
and, if it supports that, it will interpret it as "single mode mode".
The full command is:
>> boot [/bootflags] device: [program] [options]
The bootflags are VMB-standard flags (for VMS), which may or may
not be supported by the OS. They are passed to the OS through
CPU register R5.
The "program" argument can be used to tell the boot loader to load
something other than the standard kernel - in case you just built
a non-working kernel, for example ;-)
(mental note: does this ever happen? _YES_!)
