I did this last week with a CD-ROM boot. I booted the 2nd "live" CD, selected Configure, mounted my troublesome filesystems on /, /usr/ and /var ( I think I had to make a swap pattition here, too, though it didn't really do anything it allowed me to Write out my changes). The fixit CD actually mounted those FS as /mnt /mnt/usr /mnt/var, etc. After I wrote our those changes, I selected Networking, then Interfaces, and selected dhcp configuration of the interface (you can use a static address here, too, if you need to) Exited out of Networking, exited out of Configure, selected Fixit, waited for the shell to start and I had my network and ftp. I was able to ftp .tar backup files I had made on another box and restore them with tar -xvf tarfile. It took a little while to figure it out and go through the steps, but it did exactly what I needed it to do.
