linux init=/bin/sh
then go in, remount / read-write with:
mount -o remount,rw /
then mount /proc with:
mount /proc
then go through, edit the file that calls that function, and comment it out.

Thanks for the suggestion. Just one problem I have not worked with linux that much i have some knowledge though. Do i place these commands at the boot: prompt???

the first one yes, then it will drop you to a command line. From there use pico to edit the file(s) that are needed.
