Help ! My Unix PC has trouble booting. A green screen shows an icon
labelled "working" (with a death star logo) and just sits there. 
It never gets to the login prompt.  If any 7300 guru can help me with :

a) can i boot the floppy file system up to diagnose my problem ?
    (how do i do that and get to the hard disk, more specifically...)
b) can i back my hard disk outside the "office" ?
c) can i fix the problem without reformatting my hard disk ?

Any and all tips/answers/help (are)is appreciated...posted and emailed
answers are OK.  The previous denotes no inclination/disregard for the 
product (i like the 7300 features and functions).
