To their credit WDC has a floppy bootable version of their analysis and repair tools. I am not much of a wine tweaker, so I couldn't on my own make my repair floppy. My only option left therefore was to steal back into MS terrirory. Fortunately for me a guy in my ward chanced to be running one of their more popular distro's, and from that system we wrote my bootstrap disk. Back at home, my sickly penguin patiently bore administration the remedy prescribed by one DR-DOS from the land of Caldera. ``A bucket of zeros your archimedes needs'', said DR-DOS. Now that my Linux box's long term memory is repaired, thanks to all who imparted wise direction.
