How can I make an emergency USB stick so I can boot to a bash shell (or something similar) and make filesystem modifications, like editing plists and removing kexts?  I tried the Clover UEFI shell, but I can't figure out how to do read/write any files on disk from there.  I don't want to keep moving the SSD back and forth to my other machine.

Make a completely regular installer USB and use single-user mode. What's wrong with that?

You can also use Ubuntu (or any Linux distro with HFS+ support) on a live USB.
