I saw _EXACTLY_ the same thing recently.  I just grabbed a boot floppy,
installed the bin distrib over and was able to reboot.  I'm running on a
p166, SB32 PnP, Mystique 4mb, aic-7880, Quantum Lightning and Fireball,
Matshita 8x cdrom (all scsi).  I dread having to reboot.  Oddly enough it
seemed to do this quite spontaniously, without warning.
