Hi Robert,
I'd get FreesBie (live FreeBSD CD, like knoppix is to linux) from
http://www.freesbie.org/ and use it. it's a fully working system in a CD
so you wont have to fight with the restricted shells of fixit CDs,etc
(which most of the times I've found to be more frustrating than the
actual problem I'm trying to solve).
good luck,
Beto
