Turn on the computer and hold down the F8 key right after POST. You will get a menu to choose from. Select "Last Known Good Boot". I've had to do that myself several times after mucking something up.
Another way is to go into BIOS and make your CDRW the first boot device and boot from CD. My last choice would be to try to boot from floppy. But if you must you can download the image for the 4 (I think) diskettes.
