You don't need one for this. Which bootloader are you using, LILO or GRUB? You can pass init=/bin/sh using it. For grub, select the boot menu option, press 'e', select the line beginning with kernel, press 'e', go to the end of the line and add 'init=/bin/sh'. Then press enter, then 'b'. For LILO, hold shift until you get a lilo prompt. Then type linux init=/bin/sh. Either way will get you a command prompt. Then: mount -t proc proc /proc mount -o remount,rw / [edit, fix bootmisc.sh] mount -o remount,ro / umount /proc exec /sbin/init
