Subject: Boot Up Freezing on MySQL Startup
If I recall correctly, mysqld doesn't behave properly when you start it,
and keeps the terminal. Add a & to that to force it to background.

As for your non boot problem, whip out your rescue disk and boot from it.

You *DO* have a rescue disk, don't you? =)
