:IIRC, this started only recently, because I've never had to adjust $PATH
:to use, for example, fsck.  What happened to the default $PATH for single
:user mode?

    That's probably a different path.  If it still occurs now then its a
    path inherited from the init process rather then the default path when
    no PATH environment exists.  The boot -s issue was simply /bin/sh being
    run without a PATH environment at all and getting an internal default.
