Twizzle,

Have you created and tried the Emergency Startup CD ?

Or like the rest of us - didn't you bother?

the OS3.5 emergency disc on the cd, that you are supposed to create does not work.
documented years ago, when it was 1st released.
unless you can create your own custom 1.

You're not putting the / at the end of those, are you? If you are I'd imagine that's why it's not working - try removing it.
