Even if you do not use NetInfo for network accounts, I believe it is used
for the local domain. Thus, this article might be of use:
Mac OS X, Mac OS X Server: How to Replace the NetInfo Database
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107210
Also, try accessing the startup volume through target disk mode or by
booting from another disk and then cleaning out the caches and tmp
directories.
