Why not just boot a off a floppy disk with a system folder and while it
is load hold down opt-cmd to get a rebuild desktop dialog box.  I have
corrupted the desktop on my Paradise several times (my fault - not Paradise's)
and when I tried to boot and rebuild the Paradise at the same time time it
bombed, but when I rebuilt the desktop off a floppy boot it worked.
