OK. I hear you.
For overkill, the Linux BBC supports reiserfs
http://static.linuxcare.com/iso/bbc1-6.iso
and I believe that you can copy the boot image to a floppy to boot from.
But a floppy only rescue disk with reiserfs support?
>From http://www.hrlug.org/rescuedisk.html :
RIP (Rescue is Possible),
http://www.tux.org/pub/people/kent-robotti/looplinux/rip/
This rescue distro comes in both a floppy version and a bootable CD version
(IDE CD-ROM drives only). This uses 2.4.0-prerelease-ac3 series kernel and
supports reiserfs partitions but lacks network support features. You'll need
at least a 486 and 8MB of ram to boot it.
How's that?
