You can boot adding "init=/bin/sh" on the command line (grub or lilo)
You will get the hand just after initramfs.
Then, you can go to /etc/rc.S and /etc/rc2.d and start each script by hand.
Ie, something like:
cd /etc/rcS.d
ls
./S01glibc.sh start
./S02hostname.sh start
...
./S99stop-bootlogd-single start
cd ../rc2.d
ls
./S10rsyslog start
...
