Thanks, Lance...

that's what I'm doing right now is finding a good floppy or CD-ROM based
Linux boot image... I will investigate whether the HD0 is still intact,
and if not, I will check out mkinitrd.

I really appreciate your quick response.

Boot a system rescue CD of some sort and make sure the initrd image for
the kernel you are booting from the hard drive still exists.  It may
have been wiped out in the fsck.  If it is gone, you'll have to rebuild
it using mkinitrd.
