So don't use it in single-user mode, which is intended exclusively for repairing serious computer-can't-boot issues, and it is intended to be used exclusively by the aforementioned unix longbeards (actual beard optional).

By the way, I'm not sure if the correct syntax back in 2008 was indeed
diskutil -list
or if I made a mistake back then, but today the correct syntax for that command is
diskutil list

--note that there is no hyphen before 'list'.
