I also had the boot process being stuck at ext3fs recovery a few times
but after a restart the system booted fine.
I never needed to repair the partition manually.
But there might be an easier way of repairing the partition.
Add "rootfstype=ext2" to the kernel argument line (be careful not to
exceed the maximum kernel argument line length of miboot - you would
then overwrite the root device option).
The partition should then be mounted with the ext2 file system instead
of the ext3 file system. That is no problem because ext3 is backwards
compatible.
And as ext2 doesn't do any recovery on mounting the system might boot
as usual. One should then start fsck manually if it isn't started
automatically.

I usually boot the Debian installer, choose to load the installer
components from the CD (this implies that ext2fs-utils are loaded) and
then switch to a shell.
Then I manually invoke the repair process:
fsck.ext3 /dev/discs/...

To be replaced by your root partition.
Good luck,
