I had this happen with a boot disk , it was trashed. Contact suse they can mail you a new one,\.<BR>
<BR>
or boot to windows , read the readme file on the cd , it will tell you where and how to copy the boot images to a floppy. You will need three flopys . One to boot of , and the other too hold the modulews and a small user interface to get booted , or reinstalled.<BR>
<BR>
Slip the boot disk in , follow the instructions , look for the option "boot intalled system"<BR>
<BR>
You will also need to know from which partiuon to boot . You will find this in the file etc/fstab<BR>
<BR>
this will tell you which one you boot form. Or see page 409 of the suse book it will t\give the range for the hd settings.<BR>
<BR>
Ex on my machine I boot form <BIG>/dev/hdc5   as linux is on top of dos.<BR>
