Try to boot into runlevel 1. If you use LILO, you would probably press 
<SHIFT> to get a boot prompt, then you'd type the name of the kernel 
image and 1 behind it, like so:

linux 1

I've never needed to do this with GRUB, so I don't know how :-)
But I'm more than sure that GRUB lets you append to the kernel boot 
command line.

Runlevel 1 is the system maintenance runlevel--no big applications are 
started.
