Is re-imaging the root directory the only way to recover from a bad init? I got my D.net client running all the time, and thats part of the problem. I forgot to background the buffer checker, so the unit boots and runs the client and keeps looping there. Can the system be booted in a way to ignore the init once and dump to a shell? Or can the init be the only thing wiped by using the pump program somehow? I'd rather not lose the work I didn't backup. (I'll be making a backup script once I get back to a shell prompt to prevent this from hindering me in the future.)
Thanks, Tom
