I *think* you may be able to append 'single' to the kernel command
line and it should drop you into a single user shell rather than
executing any startup scripts.  It's been a while since I tried this,
and I haven't tried this with the TS kernels....

In the future, boot via NFS and do your testing that way.  If you blow
up the NFS image, no big deal.  :-)
