I tried to boot the kernel on the hard disk
/boot/kernel/kernel directly from a boot2 prompt on
one of the boot floppies by typing
ad(0,a)/boot/kernel/kernel, but I got the message BTX
halted. This is quickly becoming very frustrating. 

I thought there was someway to boot the system on the
hd from a floppy.

the fixit floppy does not contain chflags so I cannot
remove the old /kernel file from there, trying to use
the chflags from the installed system on the hard disk
from the fixit floppy leads to the error message about
not finding the ELF interpretor, so that doesnt work.
This is even if the old /kernel file is the problem
here. 

I still dont know what the problem is.
