Help!  My SCSI disk [internal] won't boot and I can't get up!

I came in this morning and saw my NeXT Cube attempting to boot up but was 
stuck in the startup sequence "Testing System" and "Loading from Disk" followed
by a "SCSI Error".

I put it in the ROM monitor and tried a "bsd" and got the following:

NeXT>bsd
boot sd(0,0,0)
booting SCSI target 1,  lun 0
sdmach: not a directory
sdmach: not found
load failed

blk0 boot:


I was out last week but I am told that someone tried to scan in a large
image and then the system hung.  They then hit the power key to try and
reboot and then it sat for an hour trying to come back up.  It obviously
didn't.

The worst part about this is that we didn't back up the system (we have no 
OD media).  Any help would be *greatly* appreciated.  

		Thanks!

PS.  No NeXTmail please, just regular email (until this thing gets
fixed).
