Oh yes, one more thing:  The Linuxcare BBC (Bootable Business Card),
available at http://www.linuxcare.com/bootable_cd/, is based on Debian
(sort of a slink-and-a-half distribution, when they released v1.2 (the
current version) of it, potato was still unstable), with a 2.2 kernel.
It's about a 40MB download of the .iso image.  I burned one to regular CD
(although I want to get some business-card sized CD-Rs) and it's great for
booting up.  The 2.2 kernel would've allowed you to mount your partitions
just fine (although the rescue floppy is great for that, too, as you found
out).  It's a little more featureful in terms of software than the rescue
floppy, though.  :)

I don't know if you attended my PLUG presentation on ext2 file undeletion,
but it's some extra features in the 2.2 kernel that make undeletion easier
that make the version of ext2fs in the 2.2 kernel incompatible with the 2.0
kernel.  (If you're interested in the notes I have for the talk, it's at
http://www.billjonas.com/papers/undeletion.html)
