I am very stupid

I put a program I knew to be boarderline unstable in my rc.local. Now it
very happily page faults every time I reboot. Obviously I need to enter
single user mode and remove these lines from the rc.local.
Only switch I can remember, though, boots into a read only filesystem.
Can someone remind me how to do this? (Or be real nice and mail to me?
please??)
