I have no idea what do you mean by boot floppy. Does it contain a
copy of the kernel or just lilo? If you use lilo, than it's not that
hard. Just make those boot disk and root disk from the RH CD - rawrite
the images. Than mount your root partition, insert a reliable floppy and
run lilo again - just in case check /etc/lilo.conf. This warning is
because if you change /etc/lilo.conf and do not run lilo after that, than
you won't see the changes you've made. And now, maybe you forgot those
changes. If on your boot floppy there was a kernel, than you'll have to
use dd to copy a kernel back on a reliable disk. It can be painful to
recompile in this state. For more details, check the Bootdisk-HOWTO. It
is on the RH CD and you can also find it online.
