Lane, it sounds primarily like your problem exists between the keyboard and the chair --> that's where most problems start anyway =) j/k of course. Sorry for getting my daily humor at your expense. If you created a floppy during the installation process then you have a 'rescue' disk. You should be able to boot with that floppy and make any changes you need to get your system functioning again. In order to give you more guidance I/we will need to know more about what you've done.
