Thanks to all of you who replied already.
I have found out that I can mount the floppy if I install modules by hand, i.e.
insmod nls than insmod fat and finally insmod msdos.
Than I tried to downgrade the bash package to the one that used to work
(bash_2.01-5.deb) which I have on a floppy, but without any luck (same result
as before- package shows up as half-configured, and when I do "dpkg --configure
bash" it tells me that package is in a bad, inconsistent shape and needs to be
reinstalled). I checked and I do have libreadline2 and libreadlineg2 installed
from 2.01-5 bash, properly configured. Same for the ncurses3.4.
Can I : a) install ash INSTEAD of the bash and remove the bash completely then
reinstall it fresh?
b) if someone would be kind enough to send me their
/var/lib/dpkg/updates/bash.* files from 2.01-5 bash installation
^^^^^^ I'm not sure this is right
since it appears this is where my problem is?
Again, please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
TIA

Here's what I'd do - install the ash from hamm, then do:
ln -sf ash /bin/sh
Then, edit your /etc/passwd file (with vi, probably) and change the
top line so that it contains '/bin/ash' instead of '/bin/bash' - root
should now be able to log in, at least.
