Single boot without mounting the partitions

I have an Enterprise 3 system with a large partition that I use for 
backups.

On this particular boot , the system decided to clean the large 
partition.  The cleaning is taking too long.

I understand how to single boot by appended to the kernel line at boot 
time.  However single boot mounts the partitions, so I have the same 
problem.

How can I single boot just so that the / partition is mounted?  I want 
to take the "offending" partition out of the fstab table until I can 
manually "fsck" it.
