Follow Herb's suggestions to making the boot floppy. Then in the boot.ini
file (on the floppy), change the ARC path to reflect the actual boot
partition (where NTOSKRNL.EXE exists). Then you can adjust the actual one on
the system drive.
Here's some links to help explain the ARC path in the boot.ini file and it's
usage. The troublshooting one at the end is especially descriptive on how it
works:
