 Last week I used a ubuntu for ppc install disk as a rescue disk. it had
enough tools on there to mount the hfsplus mac os x filesystem and copy
the contents over to a usb drive. for the mac, turn it on eject any
existing cd in there with the double '^' like button, put rescue cd in
and hold down the 'c' key, it should then boot off your rescue disk.
 i can make the iso available to you if you want it.
 of course, if the drive is totally toasted a rescue disk won't
help...that's where it can get expensive. :(

Note: i burned the iso in linux on i386 and there were no problems.
i also tried the knoppix "knoppix-MiB-PPC-alpha-2e.iso" but, that mac
refused to boot off it.
