Ummm I know it's not quite the answer you're looking for BUT here are some
options.

*) try Ctrl-Alt-ESC or Ctrl-Alt-S
   while the machine is booting that should get you into the BIOS

*) download "tsetup" from the toshiba web site.  Make a DOS boot disk and then
   run tsetup from there.

*) USE with care.  mount the cdrom cd to the /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS dir.
   run rpm -F *.rpm
   This _should_ install all the "newer" rpms and dependancies from the 6.2
   CD.  I know rpm -F work BUT i've NEVER used it to upgrade an entire distro
   before.


Good luck.
 

Yours Tony.
