    Might I suggest
    linux init=/usr/bin/zsh
    linux init=/usr/bin/ksh

    If /usr is a seperate partition, pop in a boot floppy and pretend you
    are boot-floppies:

    mkdir /target
    mount -t foo /dev/foo /target
    ... for all partitions
    cp /bin/bash /target/bin/bash
    chroot /target
    # do the pipeline

    -- 
    The world's most effective spam filter:
            ln -sf /dev/full /var/mail/$USER
