That looks more like a Samba bug than an rsync bug. All the "rsync
daemon not enabled in /etc/default/rsync" message means is "I'm not
starting the rsync daemon because you've told me not to in the file
/etc/default/rsync".

If you type "Linux init=/bin/sh" at the LILO prompt, does this let you
boot and log in as root? That should skip the loading of the daemons
(and of a lot of other things).

If you're not getting a LILO prompt on bootup (just a LILO 22.x message
and then straight into booting), then I believe you should press "Tab" a
few times when the LILO message appears.

Alternatively, boot from a rescue disk. Almost every Linux install CD
doubles as a rescue disk.
