SOLVED !

# modprobe ide-disk
# modprobe ide-mod
# modprobe ide-probe-mod
hda: blah blah blah
ide0 at 0x1f0- etc..

# mount /dev/hda1 -t ext2 /tmp/mount
success..

Now I can walk to any terminal and rummage locally.  This is useful for 
windows PCs as well, as I can boot to Linux with an
etherboot floppy, and `dd` a new image to the local HDD, and reboot the 
PC back into windows - new install.

Now, to make sure security is still ok..

cheers,
Steve

p.s.  I had to put a getty entry in /etc/inittab,  and a valid login in 
/etc/passwd  first.  Boot terminal normally, press 
Login:
