1. Boot do aboot
>>>b dka0 -fl "i"

In aboot, type "l" to list your known kernels and options. Then simply
copy the proper line (omitting the leading number) and append "single"
or "init=/bin/bash". 

Possibly (depends on the aboot-version) you can also do this directly
from SRM using the -fl argument, but I'd recomend the above procedure.
