You boot from a linux recovery disk and do some sort of binary copy of the
reiser partition and recover from the copy -
but since the recovery os is on cd rom, and the reiser partition had
*filled* the main hard drive ...
I'm toying with the idea of a usb disk - but linux is a bit iffy about usb
devices... ...

I know the answer to this one. Reiser cannot be repaired if it is
mounted. So if your root volume is Reiser you need to boot from a
different device.
No idea how you do this of course :-)
