Here's what you need to do, in general for this kind of thing. Now, learning is what Linux is all about. boot off the install cd for LM 7.2. Press F1 for more options. type rescue and press enter. The system will boot off a ramdisk. then put a blank floppy in the floppy drive. then: mount -t auto /dev/hda1 /mnt/disk (if /mnt/disk doesn't exist, then mkdir /mnt/disk first.) now, cd /mnt/disk/boot then cp vmlinuz /dev/fd0 it will prolly say 'cp: overwrite '/dev/fd0'? just press y and enter. then, set the kernel's root device. like this: rdev /dev/fd0 /dev/hda1 then mark it as read-only: rdev -R /dev/fd0 1 now, if you use reiserfs and/or have a SCSI (pronounced 'SUCK-ZI' ;P) then you need to do some more research to set initrd (the initial ramdisk) yourself. I'll getcha started, but I can't hold your hand. The above sequence makes a bootable disk that SHOULD get you back into your system. Now, it has no lilo or anything like that, just boots up and it's kinda slow, but hell it's better than you can get with micro$lop.
