Adam, Back to you again. As I mentioned, I had wiped out my boot diskette, and needed to figure out how to make another. That I have done.
You need to use the mkdisk disk command, with the argument consisting of your kernel number (what returns from uname -a). You will be prompted to insert the diskette. The image created on it will use most of its free space, and so you may want to create a second diskette with various commands such as fsck. HOWEVER, I have not tested this (except on my wife's Windows machine, where it seems to boot the kernel, but then passes the boot back to her machine's BIOS for some reason, with a result of a loop rather than ending in a command prompt. Also, I've never (unwisely) tried to run commands from a second floppy, but will definitely try it now. Hope all this helps, although only a guess at this point.
