If you did a "shutdown abort", wouldn't you still have to wait for the
rollback to happen during instance recovery on the startup? I've never
tried this - I usually just suffer through the rollback.

You should wait for PMON ending its job of rollback
the transaction of that killed session. Since one of
the releases of 8i that duty is a new one for the
SMON.
You have few options. If you are in a hurry, you could
do shutdown abort. First issue an alter system
checkpoint; just in case a maybe possible recover
problem later. You see that it is a little risky. With
a shutdown immediate, you might wait a lot. Even that
you could afford it because of the dangerous of the
abort option. The other is to issue through svrmgrl or
sqlplus depending on the release an
oradebug wakeup <orapid of PMON or SMON depending on
the release>
However there is a little chance that with this you
could hurry the PMON for the rollback of the
transaction.
You can see how much work the PMON or SMON have to do
through v$transaction:
select b.sid,a.used_ublk from v$transaction
a,v$session b
where addr=taddr and b.status='KILLED';
