Well, basically yes, but do that without any writing to filesystem, or it is "bye bye data". > Or I'll bet one could do something equivalent in the initrd -- much more > user friendly.

You do not want to mount journaling filesystems; they tend to write to disks even during read-only mounts... But doing it from initrd should be okay. ext2 and init=/bin/bash should do the trick, too.
