1 Hi Colleen,

3 Which bootloader and init system do you use?
4
5 If it is grub, you can try adding a ' 1' OR ' real_init=single' to the bootline.
6 If LILO, you can try adding ' append="1" ' to the bootline.
7 If you use OpenRC, you can try adding ' softlevel=boot'
8
9 This should tell your system to boot in single-user mode and hopefully not start the mysql service.

11 Otherwise, any compatible Linux LiveCD is your friend.

13 Good luck
