I have cooked my internal hard disk on a NeXT Station Color 
(25mhz - ver 2.1) in a very stupid way and have damaged or 
deleted (at least) the "sdmach" link in the root directory.

Of course, the machine won't boot, and unfortunately, my floppy 
drive is also dysfunctional.

Isn't there a copy of "sdmach" or "mach" in another directory that 
I could use to boot my machine into single user mode off the hard disk 
by entering a command such as the following from the ROM monitor:

"bsd()/correct_path_to_copy_of/sdmach [or mach] -s"?

If so, could someone please, please send me (and/or post) the correct
command and full path and any other tips for booting off the hard disk
under these very unfortunate circumstances?  

I asked this question before I went on vacation two or three weeks ago,
but didn't get any replies.  If you know, or have any ideas, about this,
have a heart.  

I guess I can always schlepp the machine down to the morons at the NeXT
dealer here in Paris and boot from one of their machines and do a 
Builddisk, can't I?  Those guys, although perfectly nice, know less about 
this than I do, if that's possible.  If I do have to resort to booting 
over their network, can anyone tell me the sequence of commands that I 
would execute to try to recover my hard disk?
