Why not do a control+alt+(backspace) or (escape). To get out of X. (I've
forgotten what it is on linux)
If you have wscons running, then the default for X should be screen 5. Try
changing to another virtual terminal (control+alt+Fx(key)).
Does any of that work?

Why can't you get or make a boot disk?
Try the above and if that doesn't work, I have a long winded solution. :)
