Its possible that (speaking from experience here) that when he tries
to change to a console it wont accept due to the fact that X continues
to respawn do to his error. I accidently set up my inittab to runlevel 4
restarted my machine and when nothing happened realized that I hadn't
setup X yet with XF86Setup or XF86Config. So I quickly tried to set it
up but when it got to the portion where it restarts the X server it
kinda just sits there flashing rapidly at you telling you how stupid
what you did was (and boy did I feel stupid at the time).
Anyway, to make a long story short, I booted with my floppy, mounted
my drives and then copied the inittab file to another floppy, quickly
mounted that floppy on another machine (non-windows) and edited the file
back to runlevel 3 and 'wait' for launching X, then restored it to my
screwed up system which upon reboot went straight into a console and
allowed me to rerun the setup for X.
If you don't have another linux machine available, a windows machine
will work which you can telnet to your ISP with, upload the file to your
home directory there, edit it and then re-download it to your floppy.
The other problem is, I can't remember which file in suse Yast puts
that setting in other then inittab.
