I want to be able to come up on floppy and then be able to mount the hard disk (in case I really screw up a configuration or something). The last two times I ruined my configuration I've had to re-install, which is a real pain. I called the tech support and the guy I talked with didn't know how to do this. Any help would be appreciated.
