It looks like the partition of interest might
be /dev/sdb2 so to mount it read only, try this:
mkdir /tmp/recovery
mount -oro /dev/sdb2 /tmp/recovery
cd /tmp/recovery
ls -la
...etc, etc.

Hmm, close, but not quite. I get the message
mount: you must specify the file system type
So I tried
mount -oro -t ext3 /dev/sdb2 /tmp/recovery and got
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb2,
missing code page or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
So I did. The last 3 lines were:
mtrr: type mismatch for c00000000,10000000 old: write-back new:
write-combining
hfs: unable to find HFS+ superblock
VFS: Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev sdb2
Are there any reasonable options left?
