Sigh.  One more reason why I suggest people to go with 10.1.  I ripped gpm out 
of that version.  It doesn't always cause problems, but when it does, it's ugly.

You should be able to IPL the starter system, but once you SSH in, instead of 
starting the install process, do an "insmod dasd_eckd_mod dasd=xxx" where xxx 
is the device number of the volume where your root file system is.  Then, mount 
/dev/dasda? /mnt and chmod -x /mnt/etc/rc.d/rc.gpm

If you then umount /mnt and re-IPL, you should be OK.  If not, you'll need to 
follow the steps above to get the root file system mounted, then chroot /mnt, 
and then "removepkg gpm" followed by exit,   umount, and a re-IPL.
