Summary: no appropriate manual

What happened was: by accident, I connected power when the on/off switch
(at the back of the machine) was at "on" position.  After that I can't
reboot the machine.

It seems that the hard disk was crashed.  When I used the
diagnostic floppy to reboot, I got the following message:

	#HDERR ST:1 EF:4 CL:FF00 ...
  	MCRREG:8F00
	panic: iinit

I used the hardware reset, no luck.

I used the floppy boot disk, no luck either.  The hard disk couldn't be
found by the process.

When there's no floppy present, what I saw was green dots appearing on the
screen.  One dot for each second, no ending.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
