Here's how you do it: First, you must get out your fixit floppy. If you don't have one, make one from the installation cdrom. Then, boot with your installation cdrom or floppy. When you get to the sysinstall menu, choose "repair mode". At this point you will put in the fixit floppy. Then do Alt-F4 to get to the repair shell where you can mount your root filesystem and fix stuff to your heart's content. Good Luck!
