I don't know how documented this is, but somehow in partially screwed up
systems I have been able to boot the partition I wanted by throwing in the
debian boot disks and at the first prompt typing 'linux root=/dev/hda2'
which is my linux / partition.
Also, and I don't know if this is -supposed- to work, but I have made boot
disks using a simple 'cp /kernel /dev/fd0'... I never have seen this method
documented, but it worked for me at one point.
This disk of course is not a complete system, it just loads my regular
system... how it knows what partition is what or how it boots, I do not
understand... anyone ever heard of this?

So you think you know the real meaning of fear?
Yeah, you think you do know, but I doubt it.
When you sit in a shelter with bombs falling all over.
And the houses around you are burning like torches.
I agree that you experience horror and fright
