Botched up /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/iptables, now can't boot
 
Hello Forum!

I am running Debian 7.2 (Wheezy).

I was following this guide to get my iptables to restore on reboot, but messed up somehow: https://wiki.debian.org/iptables

Now, when I boot I get this error: http://snag.gy/dL6ZL.jpg and can't get booted into the OS.

Any guides or steps I can follow to get booted up so I can work on the file and hopefully fix my mess?

Thanks for the help!

You should be able to boot into single user mode and fix/remove the part(s) that giving you problems.

If you don't know how to boot into single user mode, have a look here: Boot Linux Grub Boot Loader into single user mode

Another option would be to boot a live system then edit the files needed.....

Wonder why that would stop you from booting?

I found a solution through googling/trial and error. If you type ^d it will let the boot sequence continue and get into the OS. However, I appreciate all the replies everyone!
