I had the same problem after my upgrade. If you made a boot floppy during
your initial installation, or after upgrading - you should be able to boot
of your floppy. I put my boot floppy in the floppy drive, booted up, after
the kernel loaded, I was where I usually am with a good running system. At
that point, I ran Lilo and was a happy camper. I don't know if Knoppix will
do that for you or not, I didn't try with Knoppix - just the floppy.
