I've something dumb with my root directory...it seems sdmach is missing or  
damaged and the machine won't reboot. I'm no UNIX whiz. I thought that  
maybe all I would need to do is to do a basic boot from a floppy, bUT all  
I can find is Bootfloppy2.1 in th archives. Is there a 3.0 version, or is  
there some other way to fix this problem?

Some days, I found this at sonata:
/pub/next/submissions/:
-rw-r--r--  1 ftp        12669 Oct  6 07:44 BootFloppy3.0.tar.Z

Might be a solution ?
