    Can you not boot in single-user mode "boot single". This should avoid
    your "mac" program being run (assuming you issued update-rc.d mac defaults 99).

    You can clean up the init files ("update-rc.d mac remove" will remove the
    symbolic links set up before, without removing /etc/init.d/mac).
