I applied mkswap on root partition: help!

I don't know about recovery, but you'll need to reformat your drive to
begin using Linux again.  There are ways to recover data, assuming
that the swap partition was not written to.  However, I'm not familiar
with any recovery techniques, though I do know that most of them start
with a Live CD.

Not as stupid as I felt after unmerging GCC on Gentoo.  Dang, that was nasty...
