I thought that's what would happen, but I never get the prompt. It stops
before giving me a prompt. The screen stops scrolling in the middle of
startup messages. I think I might have to re-install, but I don't want to
do that.

I can't boot from a floppy, AFAIK. Can I boot from Ram, as if I were going
to reinstall without actually reinstalling?

I tried every combination, I could think of and could not jump back to X.
