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...

dnsextd(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 						dnsextd(8)

NAME
dnsextd -- BIND Extension Daemon SYNOPSIS
dnsextd DESCRIPTION
dnsextd is a daemon invoked at boot time, running alongside BIND 9, to implement two EDNS0 extensions to the standard DNS protocol. dnsextd allows clients to perform DNS Updates with an attached lease lifetime, so that if the client crashes or is disconnected from the net- work, its address records will be automatically deleted after the lease expires. dnsextd allows clients to perform long-lived queries. Instead of rapidly polling the server to discover when information changes, long-lived queries enable a client to indicate its interest in some set of data, and then be notified asynchronously by the server whenever any of that data changes. dnsextd has no user-specifiable command-line argument, and users should not run dnsextd manually. SEE ALSO
mDNS(1) mDNSResponder(8) For information on Dynamic DNS Update, see RFC 2136 "Dynamic Updates in the Domain Name System (DNS UPDATE)" For information on Dynamic DNS Update Leases, see http://files.dns-sd.org/draft-dns-update-leases.txt For information on Long-Lived Queries, see http://files.dns-sd.org/draft-dns-llq.txt BUGS
dnsextd bugs are tracked in Apple Radar component "mDNSResponder". HISTORY
The dnsextd daemon first appeared in Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger). Darwin June 2, 2019 Darwin
