Well you can get SD/MMC card with already cloned system from someone, use nokia linux flasher to set root device to mmc, boot it and then mount flash filesystem and fix it.

Next time consider installing bootmenu and clone system to card before doing such experiments. In theory you can then also use usb networking recovery mode but OS2008 kernel currently has borken usbnet driver (at least the windows RNDIS part). In near future there will be also onscreen root shell console usable with N810 or usb keyboard.
