Boot fails at: starting FAM ... ...

[Dan Hunt <dan.hunt@st.brieux.com>]

I can't restart my Woody with a custom 2.4.18 without it hanging at this point.

~much complaining about firewall rules that cannot be started, do you need to
insmod? and like~

touch: creating `/var/lock/subsys/bastille-firewall': No such file or directory
Starting file alteration monitor: FAM

The systen hang's at this point.

I have a boot floppy, install c.d.'s, a rescue partition, and knoppix. 

How do I mount and edit the startup sequence to avoid this?
