Can you say boot disk? For a boot disk I use the Debian install boot disk. From dos you can edit the syslinux.cfg file to mount the correct disk as root. (and you can disable the ramdisk if you need to.) Useing the boot disk will not fix things but you should be able to log on and get a look things. You might even be able to run the filesystem check program (can't remember the name off hand).
I have done lots of gnasty things includeing pressing reset mutiple times but I have never had a crash that I could not recover from. (well actually I did delete everything once. I was going to repartition two of my drives to give linux a large disk to work with. I backed up Linux using tar and placed the tar file on an empty dos partition. I then typed something along the lines of: cd /;rm -Rf *. Note how I forgot to unmount the dos drive. ) -- Stephen Gregory > of those times, and the machine locked up (that is not the problem).
