Hi Mike

Tryed usering Fixit floppy... 
useing the fixit floppy you can then mount your root filesystem..
and start mounting other filesystems like /var /usr etc.

and then goto /usr/src/sys/i386/conf
edit your hostnamefile.. Add 686 support
config hostname ; cd ../../compile/hostname
make clean ; make depend ; make ; make install

Reboot (x fingers) and hopefully you will be back with us)
