You don't need to make any changes to files in /sys. Just blow away /sys. Download boot.flp. Then, dd if=boot.flp of=/dev/fd0.1440 bs=18b Then boot with that floppy.

Then he'd spin it round and round, like a wheel of fortune, and no matter where it stopped he'd yell out, "Tadpoles! Tadpoles is a winner!" We all thought he was crazy. But then, we had some growing up to do. -- Deep Thoughts, by Jack Handey
