Thanks to everyone who responded. Great forum for getting help. I am back to a state where I can at least get filesystems mounted and data off the box in order rebuild. There is some sporadic corruption. Solution: I booted up off cdrom into recover mode, I was *unable* to get a manual fsck to fix the filesystem, but I could get it mounted in order to tar up all the files in /boot. I then ran a mkfs on the partion and copied files back. Last step was to chroot to /mnt/sysimage where the cdrom mounted the filesystems and I ran "lilo" to rebuild my MBR. Fix various other corrupted files and I'm back up. Special thanks to RobR,JohnM,KentS,BrettG,PeteS and DStimints.
