I've been there, my condolences...  Only reasonable solution I found
was to reinitialize from a venti score.  Otherwise the machine just
won't boot.

If you have a recent venti score and a bootable CD you won't need a
second hard drive to do it -- boot from the CD, run 'ramfs' and create
a venti description file that will start your venti partition proper.
Once you've started venti you can just run fossil/fmfmt -v 'venti
score'.

If your CD (like mine) is old and doesn't have the fossil binaries you
can run 9fs sources and use the latest ones from Bell Labs.
