Description:
It would be nice to be able to blacklist a daemon from the kernel cmdline. A typical use case would be for example starting daemon foo would cause a system crash, now normally we would have to boot into single user mode or boot into a livecd or something like that to fix the rc.conf. I'd like to be able to just add nofoo to the kernel cmdline via grub.

I attached a patch against initscripts-2009.03-2, it could be more pretty but you get the idea. Propably it would be a good idea to decide on something different than "no" as a prefix as that is also used by the linux kernel.
