My first try would be booting from the slink CDs. If that is too
limited you can check the rescue disks from Debian
(/<cdrom>/debian/dists/slink/main/{root,resc1440}.bin, see the textfiles
in that directory), the the Bootdisk-HOWTO
(http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Bootdisk-HOWTO/index.html), or the
various mini Linuxen (µLinux and the like).

It's definatelly better to use cp because it won't create that large
file, but I've forgotten the switches to cp.
