Can you boot from CD?  If yes, just boot CD #2; somewhere in the
configuration menu there's an option to drop you into a fixit shell.

Failing that, you can make the CD on a UNIX box with something like:

	dd if=/cdrom/floppies/fixit.flp of=/dev/fd0

obviously adjusting the filenames to match your local reality.

On Windows, rawrite.exe or fdimage.exe are your friends.  Google should be
able to find them in about a million places, if they're not still in the
tools directory on CD #1.

HTH,

	Scott
