is is possible? i dont want to grab the install cd and chroot into my system (i updated from xorg-erver to ati-drivers and i have no screen, also ssh is not setup to be on... so i cant get inside my system)

i am in the grub console now, on boot and i see all the possible commands with TAB. is there a way to let me login as root and have full access to /bin/bash? i want to run X -configure or similar.

thank you
