In the process of trying to recover it, I found I needed to use the fixit disk. I have used the floppy version successfully several times before, but this machine doesn't have a floppy drive. Sysinstall indicated there was an equivallent fixit cd. Where do you find that? I found a back door to get this machine corrected, but I need to be better prepared for the next failure.
