Okay I am going to need some more hand holding. So I currently have a line
"kernel /boot/bmlinuz-2.6.20-16-generic root-UID..blah ro quiet splash"
And I need to add "init=/bin/bash" at the end. That will boot me into
just a bash console from which I can mount the drive I need and try
and edit the init.d/rc file?

Instead of "c" do "e" for edit, and then "e" for edit on the kernel
line, and then "b" for boot after you are done.
