You would only be running in init=/bin/sh temporarily, long enough to
fix the issue, then you'd boot normally.
You might not even need to edit the line - doesn't your grub menu have
a line that basically tells it to go into single-user mode? If so, use
that, fix the issue, then reboot into normal multiuser mode.
Or, you can do 'sudo telinit 1' and drop into the same single-user
mode on a running system, and then telinit 2 to get back to regular
mode.
