well, not tu shut down, but only to unmount all partitions.
so you can do "init 1", edit /etc/fstab, unmount by hand and reboot.
a bigger problem is with lilo ... you would have to set it up for a
system, which is not running yet. possibly a boot disk or using loadlin is
the best idea, but i really don't know.

probably your /dev/cdrom link, if you have one.
i can't thing of other problems ...
