Hello,

for a first step you can try to pass the follow parameter to the Linux
kernel:

init=/bin/sh

This parameter has the consequence that the normal "init" startup
(including the login prompt) is replaced by a simple shell.
For a first step this is a good choice. This parameter can either be
passed by the boot loader or it can be entered in the kernel
configuration menu.
