[coLinux-devel] Single user mode (i.e., kernel commandline parameters)

[Jason A. P. <pat...@pc...>]

How do I get to a command prompt without running init (i.e., I messed 
with my /etc/shadow file and stopped myself from even being able to 
login)?  I don't even think single user mode will help me at this point.

Thanks.

 You don't (maybe not true when you start it up in initlevel 1)

But you can mount your partition from an other (co)linux instal and chroot to 
your partition and fix it.

You can add init=/bin/bash to the bootparams in the XML file.
