Can't get out of SingleUser Mode!

I went in to Single User mode by pressing SHIFT when the system booted up in order to do disk repair, after I did that I wrote EXIT to go back to the OS, but now every time I restart, it goes back to singleuser mode, and I have to write EXIT again!

Every time!

How do I make the default = Multi user mode?

Please help! :blind:

Ok, different approach

I'm a PC guy, so if this kind of thing would happen to me on a PC I would simply add that "Exit" line in the autoexec.bat

Cause the system works FINE, its just the hassle of writing 'exit ' everytime I open the computer.

How do I ADD that line to the boot process so I don't have to write it every time?

Here is what I would do. After you get the system up and running I would install the combo update to what ever version of the OS you are using. So that would be the Mac OS X 10.4.X Combo for PPC or Intel, which ever system you are using.

Next time you're in single user mode, run fschk -f and answer yes to all questions. then run mount -uw / and type exit. I think there may be a hard drive issue going on.
