you can use rawrite, and pick one of the images accroding to installation
method, boot.img is the basic one. After booting from it boot into rescue
mode, eventually you will make it to the prompt. You'll want to mount your
root partition. After that if all is OK, run the mkbootdisk command to
create a new bootdisk. Here is some reference:
