Hmm... Is this the only operating system on the machine?

You may be able to (bear with me, I haven't done this in a long time...) use LILO on the floppy to boot your hard drive. First off, make a copy of your boot disk - work on the copy, and keep the original safe. You can either pass boot-time parameters to it, or (this may be easier) boot the disk, and edit the /etc/lilo.conf file. You should add a line similar to the following:
root = /dev/hda1
(Or wherever your root partition is). Don't forget to run /sbin/lilo to commit your changes before rebooting!

Read <a href="http://www.control-escape.com/lilo-cfg.html"><strong>this</strong></a>, and see if any of this helps... then, hold your breath and try booting your disk via the floppy... If that work, you can try to re-install your boot-loader (LILO) on the disk...

Let us know if that works, and what else you did to correct the situation. I hope that I've at least gotten you on the right track...

arbtt-recover

ARBTT-RECOVER(1)						Program references						  ARBTT-RECOVER(1)

NAME

       arbtt-recover - tries to recover a broken arbtt data log

SYNOPSIS

       arbtt-recover [OPTION...]

DESCRIPTION

       arbtt-recover tries to readsthe data samples recorded by arbtt-capture(1), skipping over possible broken entries. A fixed log file is
       written to <file>~/.arbtt/capture.log.recovered</file>. If the recovery was successful, you should stop arbtt-capture and move the file to
       <file>~/.arbtt/capture.log</file>.

       As a sid effect, arbtt-recover applies the log compression method implemented in version 0.4.5 to the samples created by an earlier
       version. If you have a large logfile written by older versions, running arbtt-recover is recommended.

OPTIONS

       -h, -?, --help
	   shows a short summary of the available options, and exists.

       -V, --version

       -i, --infile
	   logfile to use instead of ~/.arbtt/capture.log

       -o, --outfile

FILES
