That trick doesn't work if he's botched an /etc/init.d script. Init runs its scripts serially, in numbered order. We've stuck with that system for, oh, about the last twenty years. What makes more sense, and what newer Linux distributions use,
is a system with dependencies, like 'make'. Init scripts then get run in parallel, marshalled only as needed to ensure that prerequisites get run first. In a system like that, as long as no other script relied on Daragon's script, it wouldn't stop the booting.
Only solution is to mount the SDcard on a Linux machine, and remove the script symlink from /etc/init.d/rc*.d. If no Linux machine is nearby, download an Ubuntu CD and boot off of it.

Subject: [ts-7000] TS7260 - How to stop script that loads at bootup and gets stuck

sdcard-sdhc.o"). The original sdcard.o driver was removed. Of course, the SD card never gets mounted on the device, thus the executable is not found.

Telnet into the device, then make the necessary changes.
