Install on Compaq R4000

['Forum Post]

Did you try CTRL-ALT-F1, CRTL-ALT-BACKSPACE, CTRL-\, or just plain old
CTRL-C?



I got the blank screen, too.  There are several more things to try. 
You can select the boot option for rescue mode and chmod 000
/etc/init.d/kdm, which will stop the screen from running the graphics.
I usually find a way to turn off the display while trying to make X
work, so the bootup doesn't lock me out.
