The 'ulimit` command comes from /etc/initscript which is executed by
every program that `init` wants to spawn.

You might execute `which ulimit` to find if it's in the path. You
do not need ulimit to boot. Just comment it out to find where the
real problems are.

You can remount the root file-system r/w interactively for testing...

# mount -n -o remount /

Then you can edit /etc/initscript

Remember to dismount in manually before re-boot, i.e.,

# cd /
# kill -TERM -1
# sync
# kill -KILL -1
# umount -a

Now you can hit the reset switch.
