I noticed this too, but a bit too late it seems. My system won't boot on anything but a floppy, an installation floppy no less. I don't know much about adjusting these files but I am very close to being able to actually log in. Could someone please mail me theirs in hopes that I could structure mine correctly and have my system back. (inittab? rc.inet2? anything else?) I'm really starting to miss Linux.
