Well, it sounds like you just need to mount it in order to copy stuff off.
Just fire up the installer, and after cofiguring your keyboard, switch to
virtual console 2 (alt F2). You have a limited set of commands, but mount
is definitely there and cp, I think cp -R works (but not cp -r).
Certainly, if I knew more about Darwin, there must be a way to do it there
too. But I wouldn't begin to know. It doesn't work from a shell window?
