init issue on startup

Hi,

I modified my inittab file in the /etc directory. When I started up my machine, system hangs on initialization. I'm trying to remove what I added in the inittab file so that everything is back to normal.

I'm using AIX 5 and I would like to boot up so I can get back into a regular prompt so I can edit the inittab file. Any suggestions?
