If that is impossible, because the file systems could be containing the fsck binaries, then you should look at the bootable business card Linux distribution and use that to perform the fsck I had a similar issue with one of my workstations, it was hardlocked due to the "Tux In Space" Screensaver, for some reason, when only that screensaver runs, it will occasionally hardlock the system. When I rebooted, there were a few irregularities that required umounting fsck'ing the partitions and then BAM! I was back in business.
