Personal Iris single user boot

We have a Personal Iris which we are trying to set up to run NFS.
This is not a particular problem - we managed it a couple of days
ago before our power supply blew up...
But when we re-installed it today, we didn't set things up quite right
and when we booted the machine, it went to sleep on the NFS mounts.
What we want to be able to do is boot single user so that we can
edit the fstab, then reboot and try to fix things.
Is it possible to boot a Personal Iris single user (given that it
is set up to boot multi-user through inittab or whatever), or has
this feature been automated right out of the system? This information
will no doubt be useful as we continue trying to integrate this
beast in our Sun-ful environment.
Thanks
ian
