This is when you boot single-user mode off of the install CD, or the FIXIT CD (#2) if you have that around. Then mount your hard drive's root partition on /mnt (or make something in /tmp), and fix the problem.
Completely unnecessary.
While I am a fan of "use the existing tools to fix the problem without physical intervention if at all possible"-- remote management does that to you-- I think what the OP was asking was "what should I do if I've screwed up the config on the hard drive enough that it won't boot properly, and I want to start from a known-working environment to fix things".
Booting single-user off a CD may be completely unnecessary in this particular case; nevertheless, it's a valid solution to the problem.
