Replace the initrd with one that contains enough tools to work out
what's going on.
On PC hardware, most distributions have something that will dump
you in a shell in the initrd if you ask it in the right way, and your
current initrd may have something similar -- although you will
probably have to pull it to bits to work out what the relevant
incantation is.
