You need to get the system into single user mode, (use boot -s) then: fsck -p mount -a -t nonfs cd /usr/local/etc/rc.d for file in *; do mv $file $file.dont done then 'exit' Once the system comes up multiuser, diagnose and fix mysql problems. For future reference, ALWAYS disable startup scripts for third party stuff before _starting_ the upgrade. This is especially true for remote upgrades.
