    Try booting with init=/bin/sh, or if that doesn't work, init=/sbin/sash, or
    init=/bin/sash . 'sash' stands for 'stand alone shell', and is often
    available statically linked.

    Otherwise, try a 'rescue' floppy from your distribution, and boot with
    'root=/dev/hda1' (or whatever your root is), and fix /etc/ld.so.preload.

    Bert Hubert.
