I do have other machines. I did installs on them, not an upgrade, so
initrd-2.6.5-1.358.img exists on them. The failed "upgrade" machine
has scsi disks while the other machines are all ide, so I can not
move the disk with the /boot directory to a different machine, mount
it, and load the initrd onto it (I looked into that last night).

I will look into tomsrtbt.
I do have a RH9 boot floppy.
