hm, how to recover from a fscked-up device.hints?

I just created myself an interesting challenge:

 - I basically replaced my /boot/device.hints with a nonsensical one (don't
   ask), it is not a device.hints file at all.

How does one recover from that?  Booting kernel.old does not fix it for
obvious reasons..
