> How do I skip certain processes of init at booting time?
Generally, make them check for parameters you've passed in via LILO.
In your case, try booting in single-user mode, using "linux single"
(or whatever your boot image is called) at the LILO prompt. You'll
get a console from which you can fix what's broken.
