Well, you can always mount your hdds yourself *and* specify the full
path when calling POV:

Say, you're normal root is hda3 with an ext3 file system, the POV-Ray
binary is in /usr/bin/povray and you've booted into a LiveCD.

As root:
# mkdir /mnt/hda3
# mount -t ext3 /dev/hda3 /mnt/hda3

As user:
$ /mnt/hda3/usr/bin/povray yourscene.pov

Could be that you have to change the permissions on the /mnt/hda3
directory to allow a normal user to access it. Feel free to ask if you
got questions about how it works.
