In theory, once you've booted single user ('#' command line prompt, no
windowing system), you should be able to hit ctrl-d, which will boot you to
multi-user, normal Mac state.  Then you can log in and run Cocktail and
reset it to multi-user.

Of course, this hint is worth exactly what you paid for it.  :-)
