I have experienced similar conundrums, but mostly
manage to get out of them somehow. A few times it's
meant reinstalling from scratch and a week of staying
up until 5 am. Typical for this insidious hobby :-)

Why don't you try booting with the rescue CD. I do
hope you downloaded and burnt it when you got the
other iso disks. If you have it, boot with the rescue
disc, if you don't you could try editing the grub
commandline and entering the word single at the end of
the line with 'kernel'. The rescue disc is your best
bet.

It will locate your system and mount it on
/mnt/sysimage. cd to there and ls to verify that you
are where you think you are. Once you are certain you
are on the right partition, cd etc/rc.d and then edit
the rc.local file (I use: ed -p: rc.local). Read up on
the command syntax a bit before you do it if you don't
know ed.
