Does the machine dual-boot or do you have access to another
machine? If so, take your CDROM, look in the /images
directory and get the boot.img file and use it to make a
boot disk (if you've got another Linux box, use the dd
command -- dd if=boot.net of=/dev/fd0, if no Linux box is
available, use the util out of the /dosutils directory.)
Second, I like to get the RH 6.x "rescue" disk and make a
rescue floppy in the same manner as the boot disk. Then,
boot off the "boot" disk and type "rescue" at the prompt.
When prompted, insert the RH 6.x "rescue" floppy and then
mount /dev/hdaX and edit the file, sync then reboot. Should
work fine.
