I have been able to salvage that way several times. If you don't have the cdrom's I think there is a floppy boot image available on the site that you can use for disk repair. You just boot off the cdrom or floppy, and then you mount the root part of the drive, fixing any errors. Then you (hopefully can reboot from your main drive.
