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.
