Didnt make a boot disk did you, go to your distros site and download a boot disk image and put it on a floppy, then set your boot order in cmos to boot from a floppy first. you will probably also need rawrite to write the image to your floppy. then boot using said floppy and A. REinstall linux, B. use the floppy to boot the machine from now on.
And next time use better and more helpful thread titles please. I thought we've warned of this before? Don't make me start zapping you with my photarlazermajiggerplasmicraygun
