Tried the RootDir approach & kept getting error reading cpu table
messages. Did find some instructions on the chroot (I think anyways) at
http://www.webupd8.org/2014/01/how-to-fix-non-bootable-ubuntu-system.html
but no luck there as well. seemed to work, but look like there was an
issue with the cp portion & then when trying to launch update or upgrade
it said something about using older sources.

Yes, it is. Various places on the web say you can mount the internal
drive and then use `sudo apt-get -o RootDir=MOUNTPOINT` to do
`update`, `dist-upgrade` and so on. However, I haven't tried this
myself yet.
It's also possible to do full-on chroot, with `sudo chroot MOUNTPOINT`
and then run `apt-get` as normal. However, for this to work well you
should also bind-mount some virtual filesystems such as `/proc` and
`/sys` onto the relevant places in the internal drive. I can give
instructions for this if the `-o RootDir` approach doesn't work.
