[NCLUG] Hacking in as root

[Michael Dwyer]

LILO: linux init=/bin/bash

The shell you get from here is kinda scary.  Be careful!  The 
root partition will probably be mounted read-only, and none
of your others partitions will be mounted at all.  

# mount / -o rw,remount

Also, if you exit from this shell, the system will hang, and your
drives may not be ready for it...  Maybe remount RO before
you call halt?  Shutdown might not work, since it expects to 
call init...  Basicly, be careful what you mess with!
