Boot off of the floppies, and manually mount the root file system, then edit /etc/fstab. What I can't figure out (and I'm sure the answer is very very simple), is how the kernel determines what device to mount as root. Remember, it can't read /etc/fstab until is has mounted root. It's making me crazy! :-) I'm sure its buried in some man page that I keep overlooking.
