I don't know specifically how for SCO UNIX, but there are any number of ways.
Try ^C, DEL, ^\ about the time it starts asking questions.

If all else fails you can go to another system, mount the install floppy, and
edit the rc script to put a shell in there. If you can't do that, find someone
who can. You may also need to edit the floppy's /etc/fstab if you have a non
standard hard disk. Experiment.
