you'll need to make or find a rescue disk that understands software RAID
-- look at tomsrtbt and LEAF/oxygen. Actually, I bet the Knoppix CD
would help.

In theory one of the disks is primary and if you mount that disk
separately (via /dev/hda instead of /ded/md0, for instance) the changes
you make will propagate when the mirror is reformed. YMMV.
