booting single, writable?

[Ken Gaugler <keng@wco.com>]

Hi Folks.

I got a new motherboard and CPU (triton III with a Cyrix PR200MMX) and
of course there are problems booting now. It looks to me like if I can
disable XDM, I can get a handle on fixing things up.

However, booting from a floppy using "emergency root=/dev/hda4" I
cannot move the XDM inits because the disk is mounted read-only. 

What is the correct startup method to be able to write/change the hard
drive?

Thank You
