ttyt0 =20 none network no=20 secure

I added this to all of the entries = that have=20 network beside them.

I cant boot single user mode because the root_file = system will=20 be

read_only. And I cant boot from the install = floppy=20 because theres no mount command on the floppy disks.

There has to be some kind of way to boot a trouble = system=20 before the ttys file is looked at.
