How to recover from a bad system?

Hi,

I accidentally made a mistake during configuration of my network --
selected 3c59x instead of 3c509, and the system hangs after rebooting (after
the message eth0...). It was too late that I realize this. Now, I have the
original boot/root disks created from the distribution (Slackware 3.3,
kernel 2.0.30), and the LILO boot disk. I tried to boot from them, but can
not run vi to edit /etc/rc.d/rc.modules -- vi not found. What should I do?
Boot from the original boot/root disks or from LILO boot disk? How to run
vi?

Thanks for all the help!
