Use the disk you install Debian from. This one is even called "rescue
disk". See
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/disks-i386/current/install.html#s6

When you boot from the floppy, you will see a prompt. Type
linux root=/dev/<your root partition> single

This should start Linux without running rc.boot

Or you could just start the installation from the rescue disk. Go to
"mount a previously ... partition" (or such) and choose your root
partition.

Then change console with Alt-F2. Then cd /target/etc/rc.boot; 
chmod 644 *; reboot

Scripts are only executed when they have they are executable :-)

Then investigate the scripts to find out what causes the trouble to
you.
