Comment 91 for bug 491483

I'd really like to purge my systems of this failsafe-x nonsense. Is there documentation some where that explain how to disable the ironically named program? When I was bit by this bug, I didn't have access to another computer to search for a solution. I didn't have a console to read the logs. I didn't have a boot disc either. I had no way of getting a boot disc. I was hosed. It was awful, simply awful.
