Hello, All I had a script called "mac", which I wanted to execute during boot sequence. So, I put it into /etc/init.d and ran:
update_rc.d mac 99
Now it really runs during boot sequence but I cannot login from any terminal, the system does not reboot from CTRL-ALT-DEL, is not telneted and I can do nothing, even cannot remove the ill script. Could somebody advise how to restore it or give some reference to appropriate document? Thanks, Alex.

May be your script never terminates? If yes, init will never come to the end of the boot sequence. This means, that you have to access the filesystem from some recovery disk and delete the script.

Can you not boot in single-user mode "boot single". This should avoid your "mac" program being run (assuming you issued update-rc.d mac defaults 99).
You can clean up the init files ("update-rc.d mac remove" will remove the symbolic links set up before, without removing /etc/init.d/mac).
