I added a command to run mysqld to bootmisc.sh. Now everything boots fine, but the command that I added to bootmisc.sh runs but doesn't exit, leaving me with a system running mysql but at runlevel 2 (single user mode) . It does not return a prompt so I can't log in and fix the problem. With it being at runlevel 2, I can't ssh in.
Any ideas how I can make my cd /usr/local/mysql bin/safe_mysqld command lines in bootmisc.sh exit, so that bootmisc.sh will exit and I'll get a prompt. All I have now is literally a blinking cursor. (I tried switching to another virtual terminal, but they have the blinking cursor too. I tried hitting SysReq, but no luck.) The system would have to be at runlevel 5, I think, for me to ssh in. I've tried booting off a cd-rom and mounting the disk, but I can't get the disk to mount for some reason. I'm willing to try pretty much anything at this point.
