[SLUG] Ugh!

[Harry Ohlsen <harryo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well,

After asking my question re laptop-specific installfests, I realised that I 
hadn't actually tried configuring the sound since I moved from 6.2 to 7.0, 
so I tried it.

I ran sndconfig, it picked what seemed like the right Yamaha chip for my 
VAIO and sounded like it made a noise when it played the test sound, so I 
figured the volume was just too low.  So, I said "Yes" when it asked 
whether I heard the sound.  Of course, it updated my modules.conf file and 
then hung the machine completely!

So, I powered it off and on again and now it hangs when it gets to starting 
the APM (power management).  I have a nice little bootable recovery CD 
here, but that's not going to help much, since the machine doesn't have a 
CD drive.

Is there any way I can tell the boot sequence to ignore the modules.conf 
file?  Alternatively, where can I download a boot floppy image that will 
allow me to mount my hard drive, so I can move the file so I can reboot 
without it?

As I say ... Ugh!

Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
