Irrelevant aside:

The  kernel  loads  the  graphics  drivers  on  boot;  it  is  no   longer   the
responsibility of X under normal circumstances.  Assuming you can get access  to
the kernel command line arguments (with grub, this can be done from  the  bootup
menu [1]), passing the `nomodeset` option will prevent the NVIDIA  drivers  from
loading until you start the X server. There is no need for SSH here.

I had a very similar situation with my AMD drivers a while ago, and  being  able
to use the local (pseudo-)TTY made debugging an order of magnitude less painful.
