Disable HFS+ journaling from within Mac OS 9
There is a way to disable journaling from terminal or single user modeif it can boot that far.
Booting the machine into single user mode mount the drive with the given command of:
Then use 'df' to see what /dev the drive in question is. If its the boot drive it will be the device who's name is /. If it an external disk of some sort the name will start /Volumes/.
For this example we'll say its /dev/disk0s3
Then to disable journaling type:
To enable it again type:
Again, this depends on how far the drive can boot in single user mode and if the drive can be mounted as an external.

I've been through that before (carbon lazy values ...) and what I understood is that some kernel extensions hadn't yet been loaded, or else some needed frameworks weren't yet available to the running system (sorry, I don't fully understand the system). Once I made the system execute more of /etc/rc, then everything worked under single-user mode. I think I copied the rc script to a temp file and sourced it from the single-user shell ... not positive but I think I omitted the SystemStarter command at the end; Larry.
