Boot with bad superblock in root fs

Is it possible to boot a Linux system that has suffered unfixable
primary superblock corruption in the root filesystem (ext2)? I know the
mount command can be supplied an alternate superblock with the sb
option, but AFAIK, the earliest this can be done is by setting the
option for the failing partition in /etc/fstab. But of course, root
must already be mounted for that to apply.
Is there any Way to specify an alternate superblock to initrd to mount
the root filesystem?
Thanks,
Jay
