Hi,

This is a strange problem.  I have an old debian system being used as an
router.  It is Debian 0.98.  Evidently, the getty program must be corrupt
because I can not get access to the system from the console (nor remote since I
disabled the inetd for security).  Is there a way to get into the system?  I
lost the 0.98 boot floppy and the Debian 1.3 boot floppy will not mount the
file system.  What is my next step?  Any suggestions?
