    I have an Enterprise 3 system with a large partition that I use for
    backups.

    On this particular boot , the system decided to clean the large
    partition. The cleaning is taking too long.

    I understand how to single boot by appended to the kernel line at boot
    time. However single boot mounts the partitions, so I have the same
    problem.

    How can I single boot just so that the / partition is mounted? I want
    to take the "offending" partition out of the fstab table until I can
    manually "fsck" it.
