Thanks for your help.

Sorry, it was | $1x = singleuserx ^ in /etc/rc.boot.  I wrote it with a
space between single and userx, but it was just a transfer error.

The problem was in /etc/rc.  After echoing all commands in /etc/rc, I
noticed that it broke after "elif | $ix = autobootx ^".

I have replaced this line by "elif | "$1" = "autoboot" ^", and it works
now.

I am not a specialist of the Bourne shell, I always do C-shell scripts.

I think the shell does not know any "i" parameter !
