I am afraid that the partition table on your disk is fried, or the
partitions have taken a terrible beating. The system cannot locate the
proper partition to load the initial files from.
I hope you have a decent backup of your /home data, because this sounds
like format and reinstall to me.
But
Would it be possible to use a boot disk to access the info on the disk
and edit or replace conf files?

You may attempt that to mount the partitions you want to backup, but
with things sounding like they do now, editting or replacing config
files will do little to no good. Something basic on the disk appears to
be damaged, and that is not fixable by a config file.

Yes. If you boot from the Install Cd#1 and at the first screen hit the button

Sounds like you have disk problems again. Try booting from the install
CD, press F1 and type RESCUE.
It will allow you to mount your files systems under /mnt. First
question then is: can you mount them? If so, try fsck. That should at
least give you more data to come back to the list.

Have you tried booting with the default 2.4.3 Mandrake kernel? I was using
