On RHEL and Fedora, you do this by booting the install media, and at the
first prompt type "linux rescue" instead of just hitting <Enter>.  Then,
answer the questions, I believe it asks "Do you want to start networking?"
(Well, do 'ya, punk?) and "Do you want to mount your existing system?"

If you say "yes" to the mounting part, you will get instructions to "chroot
/mnt/sysimage" if you want to get in there.

Thanks,
Sean
