Try entering
Linux init=/bin/sh
at the SILO prompt, that should drop you into a root shell after the
initialization done by initrd is done. You can also do it from the
installer CD, just perform all steps until partitioning (to ensure
that the disks are detected), then choose 'Back' option until you get
to the main installer menu, and choose 'Start shell' option from
there.
Best regards,
