All:
	Boy did I really hose up this time.  Just finished installing
A D N and X via floppy.  Then I logged in and changed roots shell
from BASH to CSH...only I miss typed something in the /etc/passwd file.
Since there are no other users on the system, it seems that I can't get
back in the system since that shell doesn't exist.  There are no other 
users and I cant log on as root. 

	So, the question is....How do I get back into the system?
is there some sort of single user mode that I dont know about?


			Thanks in advance
				Steve
