Can't login - YP server not responding?

ever shoot yourself in the foot?
After building a 1.2.12 kernel and installing as /vmlinuz doing some
editing of rc.inet* files I now can't get into my computer.
Upon entering a vaild login (eg root) I get

YP: server for domain xyz not responding, still trying
plus the occassional rpc error message

/etc/hosts is setup ok, as it /var/yp/xyz  /etc/nisdomainname but
ypserv is not running and starting it from bash# does no good

I tried booting as linux single which gets me bash# prompt but I can't
vi the rc.inet* files as the system is read only

What I got
/vmlinuz        version 1.2.12
/vmlinuz.old    version 1.2.8
msdos           small dos partition

What I need
help
