Okay, to recover a system that doesn't boot properly, you can use the installation media, such as a Debian etch install CD. Instructions here: | http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch08s07.html.en You can also make a boot floppy with the mkboot command, I think, once you have your system booted. If you lack boot media you can get it from here: | http://www.debian.org/distrib/netinst Just the floppies will do if you happen to be on dialup. Let me know if this helped.
