Use a boot CD. For me, that means running the Mandrake installation CD with the rescue option. But that's just me.
You *might* be able to boot with u2's partition as the root partition (I think you pass "root=/dev/<blah>" to the kernel at boot). I can see the kernel complaining, but it might work. Either way, copy the files back to the original root partition and reboot. -Mark On Thu, 21 Mar 2002, Richard S.
