Hi Peter,
As a last resort, Martin has this [1] guide on his site, but I'd suggest taking out the disk and chrooting into it from a Debian armel QEMU install. There might be a way to install telnet from there, or maybe the logs are concise enough to fix your ssh woes straight away.
Since the network stack seems to come up, i don't think your filesystem(s) got corrupted. But if your time is limited, you might be better off hooking up a serial console or using [1]. If you can get at the logs you might be able to file a bug report of course...
Prost
Jan
