When you say:
First, you will have to boot at the command line with 'init=/bin/sh'
Is there a way to 'break' at some point during booting which will stop
Linux from starting the login shell?
You need to do this stage prior to linux booting at all. Both lilo and grub should provide you an opportunity (although it may be a short one :( ) to provide command line options and such. This opportunity will be at the point where you can pick which kernel to boot, or a different operating system if you 'dual-boot'.
With lilo I believe you press ctrl-x to get the command line boot prompt. I am not positive how you do this with grub, although I thought grub may give you options (or tell you how) along the bottom of the boot screen.
