Do you use LILO or GRUB?  Probably GRUB.  Before GRUB actually loads
your kernel, you should have a screen that shows your boot options
(often Linux vs Windows).  Hit 'e' to edit the boot options.  Find the
line that loads the kernel (something like "kernel
(hd0,4)/kernel-2.6.6 root=/dev/hda7 resume=/dev/hda3", highlight it
using the arrow keys, and hit 'e' again to edit that line.  This is
where you append the init=/bin/oldbash.  Then hit 'enter', and 'b' to
boot with those boot options.

It may be that Mandrake doesn't pause in GRUB, or doesn't make it
obvious that you can pause at that stage.  I haven't booted Mandrake
10, and certainly not in your configuration, so I can't be sure.  You
can also go into the GRUB config file (/boot/grub/grub.conf) and add a
new boot option there, or make sure that it's delaying so you have a
chance to edit your boot options.
