I don't know of any 'emergency bootup disks' with this stuff, but 'mc' is a reasonable file manager that runs from console and 'cfdisk' is ok as a disk partitioner. They're both curses based, and probably suitable for this kind of thing. There were small CDs that used to be around with this stuff. I'm sure someone else will know where you can get them.
