I didn't find a way to pass parameters to the boot, but I found an interactive boot mode. I had to disable pcmcia and netfs, then it booted.



Mandrake should have a few different boot options on the menu.

Are you using GRUB or LILO? In GRUB I just hit "e" to edit the menu entry, "e" again to change the kernel command temporarily.

Before:
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-20.9 ro root=LABEL=/

After:
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-20.9 ro root=LABEL=/ 1

In LILO I used to do "linux 1" to boot into single user mode, A.K.A., "runlevel 1".
