I tried to install mgr couple days ago. Somehow there must be mistake in my rc and inittab files and the screen is freezed after the login prompt. So I attempt to boot the machine by floppy and use the original files. While I made another mistake (I pushed the DEL key too late), some file in etc had been deleted. To make the long stroy short, I mess up the file in /etc (may be mixing files from 3.51m and 3.51). And end up with the error message: Panic: init died whenever the machine is booted from hard disk. I do not want to erase the whole disk since I have tens of MByte of useful files (I checked they are OK but just that the machine cannot boot from hard disk). I am willing to reinstall 3.51 and fix disk 2.0 etc (but now I cannot even do this). Any help or suggestions are welcome! -- Chiu Tai Law lawc@super.ece.jhu.edu (301) 338-7976
