Go DOWNLOAD a rescue disk image and MAKE a rescue disk! Or, if you
have a Windows machine handy (they're handy for this at least <G>)
put your Mandrake CD in the CDROM drive, copy the program
"rawrite.exe" from the /dosutils directory. Then, run rawrite and
tell it you want to use the file d:\images\rescue.img (assuming d: is
your CDROM drive.)
If you don't have a rescue floppy, you're SOL, AFAIK, or you can try
what I suggested earlier which is specify the boot point for your
system at LILO.
