OK, so where do you get lost in those instructions?
Do you understand the rescue mode? It's just like the install, but you
select "rescue" instead of "install-text".
Once in rescue, you need some way to get to the new kernel - either on
your local network or ftp over the internet.
You need to mount your "/" partition you created during the install. Do
you remember the device name? (/dev/hdXn) If not do:
pdisk -l /dev/hda
and look for UNIX_SVR2 partitions
If this still leaves you lost, get back to the list with questions.
