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.
