Booting using a slackware boot/root didn't work because hey dan, make sure you press F1 at the splash screen [more options] and then type "rescue" at the prompt. it should be able to detect your ext2 partition and mount it as /, then you can issue whatever with its full path, for example /sbin/fsck. now, just my opinion, you might want to upgrade your filesystems after you get everything ironed out. the newer systems that come with 8.1 are much more reliable and will give you fewer headaches. keep the ext2 partitions if you want to share them with an older linux (or maybe debian is still on ext2?). sorry if you've tried this already, but i thought I'd give it a shot.
