inittab problem

i installed the red hat 5.0 and modify the inittab for login default on renlevel 5, so at beginning the login prompt will be in x window. then i messed up the x window configuration so when it starts the login screen keeps flinking and i can't input the username and password. i tried to boot from floppy then i can't find the mount point for hard drive(hda4) in fact i can't find mount point for any partition on my HD except the boot floppy and the red hat cdrom.so now i don't know how to access the hard drive. any idea?
it's i486 PC

thanks, it really works.
BTW can you suggest some books to read for these kind of tips? i can't find this in readhat manual.
the SuSE manual is quite good, and if you have the space, install the packages from series 'doc'...
especially books...
