You will need to know what your root partition is. Assuming that your root partition is /dev/hda1, you will want to boot with the rescue floppy, then run the following commands in order: mkdir /mnt/newroot mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/newroot chroot /mnt/newroot mount -a You will now be completely in your system, and can do whatever needs to be done to fix your problem.
