Also you could use the Live-CD-ROM (disk 2) with the Fixit-Console, then do fsck and/or "mount /dev/adXsY /mnt". You do have the 2nd disk, don't you? ;) That will render you workstation bootable, I can not help you with the floppy though, sorry. -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging & more http://www.gmx.net +++ NEU: Mit GMX ins Internet.
