Hi there, i know it's an old post but I had a similar issue and want to share the solution. My problem started when I connected an external HD to my Raspberry Pi and it couldn't feed it with enough power. First I realized that the root partition was not propertly mounted and followed https://raymii.org/s/blog/Broken_Corrupted_Raspberry_Pi_SD_Card.html to recover the access to it. I couldn't boot anyway after this operation. >From your post, Ivan, I understood that I was missing the /bin/ folder in my root. I doublechecked with a fresh Raspbian SD all the folders I was missing and copied back all of them into my SD: that did the trick!
