Thanks Bob.  I am dd'ing the floppy right now.

On a side note, I think I now know why my root fs became corrupted.

As usual it was my fault for abusing my hardware.  I plugged in a brand
new scsi disk to the external scsi connector of my IPX.  At the time
my IPX was running 1.3.3 quite happily... before I ran a little program
to rescan the scsi bus (so that I could use the new disk) I noticed odd
things such as ld talking about bad magic, and /usr/local/bin/bash not
being found... then I noticed that /bin/sh could not be found, nor could
/etc...

Guess I screwed it... Just got lucky the previous 100 times or so that I
have done something similar ;)

Oh well, no harm done.
