With ext2 you can tell it to go ahead and ignore the fact that
the file system isn't clean and mount it up.
The hope in doing that, files like sh and fsck are probably
not part of what is wrong with the file system and therefore
able to bring up single user.
The best thing to do is grab Thomas Graichen XFS miniroot.

One caveat you the system needs to be up to install it.
