Assuming that "linux" is your kernel image with lilo, at the lilo prompt,
you can try one of the following:
LILO: linux single
or
LILO: linux emergency
"single" brings you up in single user mode. "emergency" brings up
just enough to run a root shell--ie, it doesn't mount anything but the
root partition (and it mounts that read-only), doesn't run any start-up
scripts or anything else.
Hope this helps.
