Usual procedure here is to boot to single user - enter '-s' at the boot: prompt. Root is mounted read-only, and may be safely fsck'd. If you haven't tried this, give it a try. P.S.: It is possible to built a boot floppy with a limited set of recovery tools. I have never done this myself. Perhaps someone else can point you in the right direction.
