I'm not even sure where to look to fix this....

I by accident changed root to rwqoot in my passwd file. I only noticed 
after I had tried to su to root and it failed. I also can not su to 
rwqoot. 

here's the kicker. I can't find my boot floppy either.   

any advice on how to repair this? it's a total newbie mistake I made while 
trying to modify the file. thanks in advance since any advice would be 
helpful.
