Help with hard disk recovery under xenix

I'd appreciate whatever help the net could provide on this one --
I'm trying to recover a xenix system that will no longer boot (panic from
iinit, apparently unable to read the superblock on the root filesystem). As
near as I can determine, I cannot create a bootable floppy root filesystem
(unlike 386 xenix!) to get the machine to boot. The manual advises me to
re-install everything (the last resort, in my opinion, since I'd like to
recover as much as possible before I do this). The only other alternative I
can think of is to find another 286 xenix system, remove my disk, install it in
the other system, and attempt to mount it from the other root filesystem.
Any other ideas? Thanks in advance --
