Not sure what you mean by  'no install media'  AFAIK, you have to have one of the 
several modes of install media to proceed.
1. netintall iso: has base system, but needs a repository for the rest of the 
packages. Minimal system but can stand alone.
2. businesscard iso, has only enough to boot the system and set up the network and 
configure apt. Needs a mirror or package repo or you can't proceed.
3. Cd's and DVD's with a full desktop environment .

All the install media have 'rescue' mode included. If what yo say is true, grab 
one of the small iso's just  for the rescue mode.

ps: There is another, PXE, which I am not familiar with, I think it can be used to 
install without local media.
