Code:
root@laureate:/home/httpd/htdocs/ldne# /sbin/rc abcdefg
 * ERROR:  runlevel abcdefg does not exist; exiting...


See what is in /etc/runlevels/.

Code:
root@laureate:/home/httpd/htdocs/ldne# ls -la /etc/runlevels/single/
total 1
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root           72 Dec  6  2002 .
drwxr-xr-x    6 root     root          152 Dec  3  2002 ..
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root            0 Jan 27 17:01 .keep


Just make an empty directory called "single" in there and put an empty file called ".keep" in there.
