System startup hung on 'named' startup; won't continue bootup

I have an RHEL 3 Academic Server that is hung during boot-up at 'named'
startup.  It's complaining about missing/malformed named.conf file.

Boot will not proceed further, so other services aren't starting either. Can't
log in remotely because sshd hasn't started; can't get to NFS exports since
nfsd hasn't started.

I'm dealing with this remotely, and don't have console access.  Is there a
keystroke combination I can dictate to someone onsite to break out of the
'named' startup and continue the bootup?  Or is single-user boot the only
option here?

Thanks.
