If it won't even boot (from NAND, I'm assuming) then you have two options.
1 - reflash.
2 - install something bootable on uSD card via PC, insert into FR and boot
from it, then SSH in from desktop and try to repair.
For #2 you might be well-served by installing the exact same distribution
and version on the uSD so you have (hopefully) suitable copies of various
files available. You'll also need to mount the NAND filesystem when
booting from uSD - you should be able to use "mkdir /nand;mount -t jffs2
/dev/mtdblock6 /nand".
