You can edit the files in single-user mode. All you have to do is mount the
filesystems read-write:
mount -w /
will probably do it. Then use vi to edit rc or rc.local (whichever one
starts syslogdand timed) and comment out the offending lines with a #.
Some of these daemons are configured in netstart, so you might want to edit
that one as well.
Later.
