Can't you just use the 1st installation disk and boot into "linux
rescue" and resolve the issue from there? It will load all the necessary
drivers and the likes...then you should be able to repair the system
from that point? (I also assume you're meaning RH9)

My father, the Padishah Emperor, took me by the hand one day and I
sensed in the ways my mother had taught me that he was disturbed. He led
me down the Hall of Portraits to the ego-likeness of the Duke Leto
Atreides. I marked the strong resemblance between them--my father and
this man in the portrait--both with thin, elegant faces and sharp
features dominated by cold eyes. "Princess-daughter," my father said, "I
would that you'd been older when it came time for this man to choose a
woman." My father was 71 at the time and looking no older than the man
in the portrait, and I was but 14, yet I remember deducing in that
instant that my father secretly wished the Duke had been his son, and
disliked the political necessities that made them enemies. -- "In My
Father's House" by the Princess Irulan
