tlug: Using Vi with Boot Floppy

[Rob Bickel <rob@example.com>]

I screwed up someone on one of my machines and I need to edit a couple
files before I can get it to boot up.  My only problem is that I can't
figure out how to get any kind of editor to work.  I am doing the
standard boot/root disk to boot up from the floppy and then mounting
my linux partition.  From there I should be able to run for example:

/mnt/usr/bin/vi

But I get

/mnt/usr/bin/vi: not found

I even put /mnt/usr/bin in my PATH.  No luck.  I go to /mnt/usr/bin
and run ./vi.  Still no luck.  vi is there.  I looked.  What do I 
need to do to get an editor?
