[ale] Slack on Tecra 8200

[Dow Hurst]

You can sometimes use the original installation diskette to get to a
root shell.  If you can do this then you can play with lilo.conf and run
/sbin/lilo.  You might could make a boot floppy at the same time. 
Otherwise, you would have to reinstall.  Have you checked
http://www.linux-laptop.net/
for any hints?
