Copy them to a USB stick? There's nothing system-specific about
them; they're just binary blobs.

sudo modprobe b43 

dmesg should show you the kernel loading the firmware, and then

ip l

should show a new wireless interface.

You can override all of the system startup post-kernel by
telling the kernel

init=/bin/sh

It should mount root read-only and then stop with a shell
prompt.

mount -o remount,rw /

will make it writable

Then you can disable any init startups that you want to remove,
and run

sync

and then reboot.
