Temporarily create an executable /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d that exits with a
value of 101, e.g. the following shell script:
#!/bin/sh
exit 101
This tells invoke-rc.d to disable all actions, see
/usr/share/doc/sysv-rc/README.invoke-rc.d.gz.

Just don't forget to remove the policy-rc.d script afterwards.
