Mandrake Helios.  This morning I did something really dumb. I had the 
following (part of the partitions):

        /dev/hdb7       /       ext2    defaults
        /dev/hdc10      /Venus   ext2  exec,dev,suid,rw 1 1
        /dev/hdc11      /programs  ext2  exec,dev,suid,rw 1 1

where Venus was an older RH installation.  I deleted everything on 
/dev/hdc10 and moved all of the files on /program to /dev/hdc10 and then 
renamed the two mount points in /etc/fstab and /etc/mtab.

Unfortunately when I attempt to reboot into Helios the boot hangs on:

        Setting /boot/System.map to the current running kernel

until I hit CTRL-C, at which point the boot moves on to:

        Booting other file systems

where it hangs completly until the three finger salute.

Using Explore2fs I find that mtab is now empty and mtab~ has the old file 
mount point information.

I have a floppy boot disk, but not a rescue disk.

Help!!!!!
