Boot into a runlevel which does not start the network. I believe there 
are a few runlevels where the network is not started, runlevel 1 or 
runlevel 2.

Anyway, during booting press a key to show the menu. Then press the a 
key to append to the kernel boot line. backspace out the rhgb quiet and 
then enter a 1 after a space. This should put you in single user mode 
and you should be able to undo the network file glitch. After fixing the 
error, telinit 5 should get you running in runlevel 5 for the display 
manager login.

There are other ways like removing the cable which might allow the 
computer to boot because of no cable attached. There is also selecting 
interactive mode at boot and answering the prompts to start services.

Being Linux, there are probably many other ways to repair your system. 
These are just moves I would try to solve the problem.
