A trick I use might possibly help in situations like this. I have ctrl-alt-del mapped to start a single-user-style shell, rather than going to shutdown. My inittab contains:
# In our case, CTRL-ALT-DEL was pressed. # rb::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/sulogin /dev/console
You can even resume operation with this after "halt".
