Yeah, I've heard similar stories in the past. Did you install the recovery 
console? You can boot to that and probably troubleshoot your problem. 
Otherwise, boot from the CD and do the same. This is kinda, sorta similar 
to booting into single-user mode under UNIX, albeit with not nearly the 
same level of tools.
