Often the easiest way to fix things is to boot a live CD/USB drive close to one of the installed OSs and work from there. I know some of the Debian installers (everything but the "Net install ?) have an option for rescue and live modes. In Rescue mode, you can specify a partition to mount as your root volume, and from there you have a working system that you can use to repair the rest.

 The net install can be used as a rescue, It just requires a network connection because it loads the rescue udeb from the internet. What you do is select expert install, configure the network, then select download installer components, then select rescue. This adds rescue mode to the menu. You can also use it as for a rescue without rescue mode. To do that you do detect disks, then mount them, use a shell and a chroot and then you have the full tools available.
