Try the vmlinux-initrd kernel from the test directory. It should drop you into a single user shell with a ram disk as root. You should be able to mount your root, and fix what's necessary.

Almost. I get to the prompt, but it doesn't appear to respond to keyboard stimulii.

[...]
RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem).

I tried feeding it an assortment of console args too:

/dev/ttyS0
/dev/ttyS1
/dev/tty00
/dev/tty01

Any ideas?
