I own a Wicat 150WS computer and, not knowing too much about Unix at the 
time, did something that grundged the kernal.  Now, the machine will not 
boot Unix (although I think all the rest of the files are intact).

Several calls to Wicat resulted in: "Oh...one of those.  Well, someone 
will call you." and no return call or help.

Can someone on the net help me??  I think that all I need is a boot disk 
and instructions on how to boot from the floppy instead of the hard drive.

For the sake of identifying my configuration, this is what I get when I 
turn the machine on:

Booting...
Valid ports are: 0 1 2 6
Memory test...
Good RAM detected: 512K
System clock is good.
Calendar clock is running.
Memory mapping registers are good.
System loader loaded.

WICAT UNIX Boot (Version 2)
Default UNIX: wdw0(128a)unix

If I hit return to boot, I get the following:

trap type 4, pc=2401A0, sr=2700
...over and over and over...scrollling down the screen.

Any help you can give is appreciated!
