swapped / and windoze, I can't boot now!

Hi!,

ok, I messed up with my potato system. It is a dual boot system, windoze + 
debian. Windoze was in hda1 and the root filesystem of debian in hda2. I 
needed to increase the windoze partition. I used partition magic for doing it. 
But in order to keep the debian's root filesystem  within the 2GB boot limit I 
swapped the windoze and debian's root partition. So that, now the debian's 
root partition is hda1 and windoze is hda2. I use a boot manager, so I can 
choose from what partition boot the system. But I can't boot debian now. I guess 
it is because the /etc/fstab file still contains the old information 
regarding the partitions. I think that the solution is to edit the /etc/fstab 
file and write the correct new partition information. But I don't 
have a boot floppy. How can I make a generic boot floppy in order to boot 
debian and modify the /etc/fstab file? my system can't boot from cd. I will 
make the boot floppy from another debian machine.

Thanks in advance for the help,

Regards,

Marcelo
