Description

Single-user mode is not accessible on the XG-1540 and XG-1541 because single-user mode is trying to use the first console boot option which is comconsole rather than vidconsole.

/boot/loader.conf has console defined like so:
console=comconsole,vidconsole

flipping these values allows access to single-user mode:
console=vidconsole,comconsole

This was tested with 2.3.2 and 2.3.3 using the standard factory memstick image.
